I'm trying to uninstall postgresql, but its really complaining. I suspect something is broken. I'm on 12.04, installed via apt-get.
sudo apt-get remove postgresql
returns:
Reading package lists... Done

Now I have tried to fix the server.key file; I copied the snake oil file to /var/lib/postgresql/9.1/main/server.key then I have modded it:
chmod 700 server.key
chown postgres:postgres server.key
sanity check:
ls -l server.key
-rwx------ 1 postgres postgres 887 Jul 12 10:07 server.key
But it still complains that the file has group access.
Would appreciate any help to remove this, forced reinstall with install -f doesn't help. :(
