Package: postgresql-9.1 Version: 9.1.7-1 Severity: wishlist I am a fairly novice postgresql user, so I was just installing postgresql-9.1 without any knowledge about database locale and how it can go wrong. The installation procedure determined that LATIN1 would be a perfect choice for my system, which lead to a number of problems later on.
Given the number of issues that arise when using a non-UTF8 locale for databases I suggest defaulting the locale to UTF8 and ignoring environment variables used during installation and/or creating a priority low debconf prompt for this. Here is a list of problems which seem related. #660209 #699453 https://www.blog.akendo.eu/debian-postgresql-8-4-cant-create-database-with-utf-8-encoding/ http://jacobian.org/writing/pg-encoding-ubuntu/ Feel free to disagree with me. In that case wontfix is your tag. Helmut -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
