</div>It looks like your postgresql process was killed. Check you system logs<br>
for any reasons why postgresql might have died. It might just be<br>
coincidence (running apt-get upgrade tends to do that to you) and you<br>
simply have to restart the import. If it is repeatable then there is<br>
a good chance that you have run out of memory. Try reducing the memory<br>
for postgresql. Also try reducing the memory that osm2pgsql uses, you<br>
can do taht with the parameter: --osm2pgsql-cache <memory in MB><br>
Also try increasing the swap space on your system.<br>
