Sounds like apt thinks that postgresql is already installed at the latest release. You could try;
1) doing and uninstall followed by an installl (but I'm a bit wary of that as uninstall can also clobber other packes you don't want uninstalled)
2) try reconfiguring the package with dpkg --configure [package name] - check the syntax of that via the man page
3) I think there's an apt-get option that will force a re-install of an existing package, again check the apt-get man page.

Does anyone know what could be going on here?
Thanks, Jen
