Hi! I think the following fix for this bug has broken some packages:

dpkg: error processing torrentflux (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 10
Errors were encountered while processing:
torrentflux
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
It seems that the pgsql-specific stuff wasn't registered for the
mysql-only program. Based on what this was supposed to fix, should
pgsql/authmethod-* go into the standard templates?
(possible patch attached)
