This "clash" with postgresql-common remains in KX7.0. Installing any language package for LO triggers an upgrade of all the LO components already installed. In my case, attempting to add the en-GB pack triggered an upgrade for LibreOffice, which in turn required an upgrade of python-uno and this triggered a re-setup of postgresql-common.
What appears to be happening is that as part of the configuration of postgresql-common by dpkg, a request to start the PostgreSQL-8.4 database server is made and this start process fails.
The consequent failure of the python-uno upgrade left a ".lock" file in place. Running "sudo apt-get -f install" after removing the lock file fixed most of the python-uno upgrade, except for the situation in postgresql-common.

Errors were encountered while processing:

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
The queston is ...why is dpkg requesting the database server to start? Is the server required in order for dpkg toconfigure an upgrade? If not, why the call?
I fixed the situation by removing postgresql-8.4 via apt-get, then running "sudo apt-get -f install" to clean up. That reported postgresql-common as suitable for autoremove, which I also ran.
Now both the LO language and help packages for en-GB went straight in, as did myspell-en-gb ... although I had to use "-t testing" to get the latest version of the dictionary.
No problems yet found from the removal of PostgreSQL. Any information as to whether I have put anything else at risk by this removal would be appreciated.
