On ubuntu 12.04, whenever I try to install a package using apt-get I'm greeted by:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
postgresql-9.1 : Depends: postgresql-client-9.1 but it is not going to be instal
led
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a so
lution).
apt-get install postgresql-client-9.1 generates:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
postgresql-client-9.1 : Breaks: postgresql-9.1 (< 9.1.6-0ubuntu12.04.1) but 9.1.3-2 is to be installed
apt-get -f install and apt-get remove postgresql-9.1 both give:
Removing postgresql-9.1 ...
* Stopping PostgreSQL 9.1 database server
* Error: /var/lib/postgresql/9.1/main is not accessible or does not exist
...fail!
invoke-rc.d: initscript postgresql, action "stop" failed.
dpkg: error processing postgresql-9.1 (--remove):
subprocess installed pre-removal script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
postgresql-9.1
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
So, apt-get is crippled, and I can't find a way out. Is there any way to resolve this without a re-install?
EDIT: apt-cache show postgresql-9.1 returns:

Description-en: object-relational SQL database, version 9.1 server
PostgreSQL is a fully featured object-relational database management
system. It supports a large part of the SQL standard and is designed
to be extensible by users in many aspects. Some of the features are:
ACID transactions, foreign keys, views, sequences, subqueries,
triggers, user-defined types and functions, outer joins, multiversion
concurrency
control. Graphical user interfaces and bindings for many
programming languages are available as well.
.
This package provides the database server for PostgreSQL 9.1. Servers
for other major release versions can be installed simultaneously and
are coordinated by the postgresql-common package. A package providing
ident-server is needed if you want to authenticate
remote connections
with identd.
