Package: postgresql-client-8.3
Version: 8.3.7-0lenny1
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

I have been using a machine, still running etch, where tab completion
for local dbs works.

fah...@ccis2753:~$ dpkg -l postgresql-client-8.3
[...]
ii  postgresql-client-8.3          8.3.5-1~bpo40+1 front-end programs for 
PostgreSQL 8.3

fah...@ccis2753:~$ psql --version
psql (PostgreSQL) 8.3.5
contains support for command-line editing
fah...@ccis2753:~$ psql [tab]
btsnp_full_genome        btsnp_full_genome_copy2  btsnp_test  template0
btsnp_full_genome_copy   btsnp_full_genome_trunc  postgres  template1

However, this doesn't work for other machines I've tried, machines now
mostly running 8.3 on lenny. Do you know what is going on here? I
tried IRC (#postgresql on freenode), but they don't seem to be
interested.

There are some lines in the changelog about this, but not very
specific.
