Package: postgresql-common
Version: 241
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: athos.ribe...@canonical.com
Dear Maintainer,
As it is being discussed in [1], a recent change in debhelper resulted
in the following new snipped being added in postgresql-common preinst
script:
# Automatically added by dh_installsystemd/13.7.1
if [ -z "${DPKG_ROOT:-}" ] && [ "$1" = upgrade ] && [ -d /run/systemd/system ]
; then
deb-systemd-invoke stop 'postgresql.service' >/dev/null || true
fi
# End automatically added section
While the original intention is a fix to the service restarting process
during a package upgrade, this will result in the postgres service being
stopped upon postgresql-common upgrades since the the package was
designed to avoid (re)starts on installs/upgrades [3].
In Ubuntu, this also resulted in a test suite regression (as described
in [1]) since the following delta is present: [4].
Introducing the --no-stop-on-upgrade option as proposed in [5] would
restore the preinst script to its previous state before [2] was
introduced in debhelper.
