I installed postgresql using

sudo apt-get install postgresql-9.1 postgresql-9.1-contrib postgresql-9.1-postgis

then due to some reasons I need to uninstall postgresql from my system. And uninstalled using:

sudo /etc/init.d/postgresql stop
sudo apt-get --purge remove postgresql\*
sudo rm -r /etc/postgresql/
sudo rm -r /etc/postgresql-common/
sudo rm -r /var/lib/postgresql/
userdel -r postgres
sudo userdel -r postgres
sudo groupdel postgres

Now I want to install the same version again, but there is no repository found. How could I add repo & install?

cat /etc/apt/sources.list gives:

# deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS _Precise Pangolin_ - Release i386 (20130213)]/ precise main restricted

  • Ubuntu 12.04.5 will lose support and become off topic here in a month. However you're not using the kernel shipped with Ubuntu 12.04.5 but something older. Please upgrade to Ubuntu 12.04.5 or any other supported release. Mar 17, 2017 at 14:35
  • It appears you have the right repositories with postgresql and postgresql-9.1 enabled. Does sudo apt-get update run successfully or does it print warning or error messages? Mar 17, 2017 at 14:42

You can use the PostgreSQL Apt Repository. The PostgreSQL apt repository supports LTS versions of Ubuntu (12.04, 14.04 and 16.04) on amd64 and i386 architectures. To use the apt repository

  1. Create the file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pgdg.list, and add a line for the repository:

    deb http://apt.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt/ precise-pgdg main
    
  2. Import the repository signing key, and update the package lists:

    wget --quiet -O - https://www.postgresql.org/media/keys/ACCC4CF8.asc | sudo apt-key add -
    sudo apt-get update
