Re: Uninstalled working db by mistake

Thanks David,

Unfortunately my cluster wont start - I am not entirely sure on the
state of postgresql-9.0, this is the output from dpkd --list

rc postgresql-8.4 8.4.6-0ubuntu1 object-relational SQL database,
version 8.4
rc postgresql-9.0 9.0.4-1~lucid1 object-relational SQL database,
version 9.0
ii postgresql-9.1 9.1.20-1.pgdg1 object-relational SQL database,
version 9.1
ii postgresql-9.2 9.2.15-1.pgdg1 object-relational SQL database,
version 9.2

Does this mean it is removed?
