Use ubuntu backports. Add:

deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu edgy-backports main restricted
universe multiverse

to /etc/apt/sources.list (by using sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list)

The newer postgres versions will be available (I think 8.2.4 is there at
the moment). For more info check out the ubuntu backports forum at:
