First, add the Hardy repositories to apt-get sources. If this file does not already exist, create it.
1
| sudo vim /etc/apt/sources.list.d/hardy.list
|
Add the Hardy repos.

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
postgresql-8.2: Depends: libkrb53 (>= 1.6.dfsg.2) but it is not installable
E: Broken packages
|
That’s not good. It turns out libkrb53 has been replaced by libkrb5-3 in Ubuntu 10.04. To make matters worse, the old libkrb53 package was split up into several other packages (libkrb5-3 for libkrb5 itself, but also libgssapi-krb5-2, libk5crypto3, and libkrb5support0).
Here’s the fix (see Bug #462059). Use equivs to generate a fake transitional libkrb53 package.
Create a dummy file called libkrb.txt, with this text:
1

3
| Package: libkrb53
Version: 1.6.dfsg.2+fake1
Depends: libkrb5-3, libgssapi-krb5-2, libk5crypto3, libkrb5support0
|
Run equivs-build on the dummy file. (You may have to sudo apt-get install equivs first.)
1
| sudo equivs-build krb.txt
|
This will generate the file libkrb53_1.6.dfsg.2+fake1_all.deb. Install the resulting .deb.
1
| sudo dpkg -i libkrb53_1.6.dfsg.2+fake1_all.deb
|
Now install postgresql-8.2; it’s dependencies are resolved.
