Problems installing Postgresql 9.2 on Ubuntu 13.04

Question

I am trying to install Postgres on my Ubuntu 13.04 system. In order to do so, I ran the following commands...

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install postgresql-common -t raring

Both of which went fine. Then I tried to install the client by running...

$ sudo apt-get install postgresql-9.2

Which resulted in the following error message...

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Package postgresql-9.2 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'postgresql-9.2' has no installation candidate

The notion that 9.2 would be "obsoleted" seems very strange to me, as when I go to the Postgres site and check out the Ubuntu installation page, I am told to run the command...

apt-get install postgresql-9.2

There is no postgresql-9.2 package for Ubuntu 13.04. Please search packages.ubuntu.com. — zero323

Try based on the following thread

https://serverfault.com/questions/514329/installing-postgres-on-ubuntu-package-not-available

In Ubuntu official repositories only PostgreSQL 9.1 is available. That is why it couldn't >be found.

In order to get PostgreSQL v9.2 in your VPS using apt you should follow the official >PostgreSQL procedure for Ubuntu found here

It consists of adding PostgreSQL official repository as one of your repository source

Create the file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pgdg.list

Insert this line deb http://apt.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt/ precise-pgdg main

Import the repository signing key wget --quiet -O - https://www.postgresql.org/media /keys/ACCC4CF8.asc | sudo apt-key add -

Refresh your repositories cache sudo apt-get update

Now you can simply do sudo apt-get install postgresql-9.2
