Hi, I first didn't get what was happening, and I had to think about it for a while. On my test server, I had no issue, but on the automatic rebuild, it wasn't working.
Then on this very nice Saturday evening, having a break on my balcony, I suddenly understood. What's happening is that the test script is using: MYUSER=`whoami` then uses ${MYUSER} to create the pgsql user. But in the automatic rebuild, whoami returns "user" (eg: the Unix username of the test environment is "user"), which is a reserved keyword of pgsql, thus the syntax error. The solution is to escape it during the query, and replace this: psql -e -c "ALTER USER ${MYUSER} WITH PASSWORD 'abcdefg'" by this: psql -e -c "ALTER USER \"${MYUSER}\" WITH PASSWORD 'abcdefg'" and then the ALTER statement works as expected on any situation, I believe. I'm now uploading this change. Cheers, Thomas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
