Using Ubuntu 12 04 it appears to work fine for me   jon minerva    sudo apt-get install python-psycopg2  sudo  password for jon   Reading package lists    Done Building dependency tree        Reading state information    Done Suggested packages    python-psycopg2-doc The following NEW packages will be installed   python-psycopg2 0 upgraded  1 newly installed  0 to remove and 334 not upgraded  Need to get 153 kB of archives    What error are you getting exactly  - double check you ve spelt psycopg right - that s quite often a gotcha    and it never hurts to run an apt-get update to make sure your repo  is up to date
