I suppose the package installation did not create a default "8.4/main"
cluster. I guess "pg_lsclusters" is empty? Please create one with
"sudo pg_createcluster 8.4 main --start". (See
/usr/share/doc/postgresql-common/README.Debian.gz)
This happens if there is an already existing configuration for 8.4, or
the package was installed before. The default cluster only gets
created if this is more or less a "clean" install.
