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.
