Package: pgpool2 Version: 3.1.3-4 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation? Trying to install pgpool2 on a machine to act as a frontend for several backend PostgreSQL databases. The machine *does not* and *must not* have PostgreSQL installed, so there was no postgresql-9.1 package there. * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? aptitude install pgpool2 * What was the outcome of this action? The pgpool2 service would not start because the PID-file defined in the init script has /var/run/postgresql/pgpool.pid and /var/run/postgresql does not exist, given that there's no PostgreSQL installed there. * What outcome did you expect instead? pgpool must be able to run on machines that don't have PostgreSQL installed, so assuming /var/run/postgresql exists is not right. Since pgpool could be run on its own, its PID file shouldn't be related to any other package being installed. I expected the init script to use /var/run/pgpool.pid. -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages pgpool2 depends on: ii libc6 2.13-38 ii libpgpool0 3.1.3-4 ii libpq5 9.1.8-1 ii lsb-base 4.1+Debian8 ii postgresql-common 134wheezy3 ii ucf 3.0025+nmu3 pgpool2 recommends no packages. pgpool2 suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
