Re: Installing PostgreSQL in Debian - Mailing list pgsql-general

Dear sirs,,

I hope you all can help me. I am a average linux user . I manage to
install it and its main packages on a AMD 2,4 GHZ with 256 RAM MB.
Everything is working fine . I use a brazilian version, namely Linux
2.4.25-klg #1 SMP Ter Abr 6 09:28:24 BRT 2004 i686 GNU/Linux.
The problem is that today I tried installing postgresql but I always
get the errors as follows:

UNQUOTE

I changed the source.list to get from another source (three, namely BR
(Brazil, US and FR) and, according to the information obtained here,
even added the content "http://www.backports.org stable/postgresql" to
the said file, as the default ftp sources have failed to work so far.

Although most of the output is in portuguese, one can learn that "
line 12: Acquire: command not found" is a mistake that i can not find
a solution to install Postgresql correctly.
I have been in many lists an web but I fail to find a hint to correct
that.
Do any of you have any hint to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance.
Érico
