Since support for lenny has expired, the main servers no longer carry 
packages for that.  But they are still available from 
archive.debian.org.  For instance, the main postgres 8.3 package for 
i386 is available at

http://archive.debian.org/debian/pool/main/p/postgresql-8.3/postgresql-8.3_8.3.17-0lenny1_i386.deb

That server also has Packages and Release files, so you should be able 
to use the following in /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb http://archive.debian.org/debian lenny main
