Package: postgresql Version: 7.4.7-3 Severity: important I'm upgrading an unused installation and was suprised to see the following:
Setting up postgresql (7.4.7-3) ... dpkg: error processing postgresql (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 10 Errors were encountered while processing: postgresql I can understand that there was a failure of some sort, but there is no indication (from the output) just what the problem is. In fact, even when I tried to execute the script manually, I received remarkably little output. $ sudo bash -x /var/lib/dpkg/info/postgresql.postinst configure + set -e + set +o noclobber + . /usr/share/debconf/confmodule ++ '[' '!' '' ']' ++ exec /usr/share/debconf/frontend /var/lib/dpkg/info/postgresql.postinst configure $ echo $? 10 Removing the package works fine, installing again produces the same error. In the interests of reproducability, I'll leave the system as-is for now. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.4 Locale: LANG=en_NZ.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_NZ.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages postgresql depends on: ii adduser 3.51 Add and remove users and groups ii debconf [debc 1.4.22 Debian configuration management sy ii debianutils 2.8.1 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-20 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libcomerr2 1.34+1.35-WIP-2003.08.21-3 The Common Error Description libra ii libkrb53 1.3.3-2 MIT Kerberos runtime libraries ii libpam0g 0.76-16 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii libperl5.8 5.8.4-8 Shared Perl library ii libpq3 7.4.3-1 Shared library libpq.so.3 for Post ii libreadline4 4.3-8 GNU readline and history libraries ii libssl0.9.7 0.9.7c-5 SSL shared libraries ii mailx 1:8.1.2-0.20031014cvs-2 A simple mail user agent ii postgresql-cl 7.4.7-3 front-end programs for PostgreSQL ii procps 1:3.1.14-1 The /proc file system utilities ii python2.3 2.3.5-1 An interactive high-level object-o ii ucf 1.02 Update Configuration File: preserv ii zlib1g 1:1.2.1-5 compression library - runtime -- debconf information: postgresql/initdb/location: /var/lib/postgres/data * postgresql/purge_data_too: true * postgresql/upgrade/preserve_location: /var/lib/postgres/preserve * postgresql/settings/day_month_order: European postgresql/convert-pg_hba.conf: true postgresql/enable_lang: true postgresql/very_old_version_warning: true * postgresql/upgrade/policy: true * postgresql/upgrade/dump_location: /var/lib/postgres/ * postgresql/settings/locale: C -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
