Ok. Assuming you do not want to use ANY of the old postgresql, do the
following (run this at your own peril !!!)

Open a terminal on the server and type the following:
sudo dpkg --purge postgresql-8.3
After is it purged, there should no config files and NO databases.
Then do the installation again and recreate your dspace database
according to the wiki instructions strictly.

Then run the Dspace installation instructions again.

Hope you export your digital assets first !!

Cheers
