I tried apt-get -f upgrade
but the same error occurs.
What can I do to fix this issue? It totally messes up APT.
Note: I'm using the following PPA for PostgreSQL : https://launchpad.net/~pitti/+archive/postgresql

I had the same problem.
apt-get -f install
doesn't worked. With aptitude it worked.aptitude -f install
removed postgres but not the databases. Afterwardsapt-get install postgres
reinstalled postgres. Happy again :-)
