Package: postgresql-8.4
Version: 8.4.8-0squeeze2
Severity: normal

The unaligned output format of the psql command is only half functioning
in this version.

If you try "psql -l" as user postgres you see a list of databases in
aligned and line wrapped format.

To get a unaligned and line unwrapped format you can either use "-P
Unaligned" or the -A switch normally. But this does not work here.

The output is unaligned, BUT its NOT unwrapped, which makes it hard to
script that output for example for backups.

I tried to set the columns (-P columns=300) or COLUMNS=300 psql ... but
this also does not work.

I did not check the postgresql changelog but I did never experience this
behavior on earlier versions.
