The following bug has been logged on the website: Bug reference: 6501 Logged by: Thomas Pasch Email address: thomas.pasch@nuclos.de PostgreSQL version: 9.1.3 Operating system: Linux 64 (Ubuntu 11.10/oneiric) Description:=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20 When I try to install postgresql-9.1.3-1-linux.run on a 64bit Linux, the installer shows an error alert box and refuses to proceed. This is strange because there are very few linux 64bit system that are not able to run 32bit applications (and Ubuntu is even multiarch).=20 It would be ok if the installer issues a warning - but refusing the install outright feels strange...=20

I know it's not directly related to your bug report, but the postgresql-9.1 package is at 9.1.3 in Ubuntu 11.10 since Tuesday. So you can just use the packaged version.
