Hi Joshua,

this bug was believed to be fixed, but apparently there is a corner
case left. Thanks for the detailed log, it will allow us to look into
this.

As a workaround, the issue should be resolved by running

update-alternatives --remove postmaster.1.gz /usr/share/postgresql/9.1/man/man1/postmaster.1.gz

and then reinstalling postgresql-9.1:

apt-get install -f
apt-get install --reinstall postgresql-9.1
