Package: postgresql
Version: 9.6+181
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I recently upgraded my server which pulled in 9.6. Then I manually
migrated the configuration and data and then I purged the old version
with:
# apt-get purge postgresql-9.4 postgresql-client-9.4 postgresql-contrib-9.4
postgresql-doc-9.4
Surprisingly that also stopped my 9.6 instance and the service disappeared:
disappeared:
# systemctl |grep postgresql
system-postgresql.slice
loaded active active
system-postgresql.slice
To restore service, I did
# dpkg-reconfigure postgresql-9.6
# systemctl |grep postgresql
postgresql.service
loaded active exited
PostgreSQL RDBMS
postgresql@9.6-main.service
loaded active running
PostgreSQL Cluster 9.6-main
system-postgresql.slice
loaded active active
system-postgresql.slice
To me this appears to be defective, and apologize if I missed an existing
report or if this should be filed against another package.
