I don't know any more about this than you, but I can read the error
message for you, if that helps. Image may be NSFW.
Clik here to view.
Something messed up the permissions of the "server.key" file in your
Postgresql data directory (which is /var/lib/postgresql/8.2/main/ on
Ubuntu Feisty). This is a softlink to the file
/etc/ssl/private/ssl-cert-snakeoil.key. I don't know which package
generated this (could be libssl0.9.8, but I'm not sure); if you can find
that out, the cleanest solution would be to reinstall that package.
Short of that, you can fix the permissions for the file manually; the
error message above tells you what it should look like. Mine has these
permissions: -rw-r----- root ssl-cert. Afterwards, try to fix the state
of your packages with "sudo apt-get install -f". If it complains about
another file, fix that one as well, etc.
