Package: postgresql-common Version: 58 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
I'm unable to install postgresql-8.1. The whole system is a fresh install, the base system from etch netinstall beta 2 and then a complete upgrade to sid. This isn't an update of installed postgresql packages. I installed the following packages with aptitude: libdbd-pg-perl, libdbi-perl, libnet-daemon-perl, libpg-perl, libplrpc-perl, postgresql-client-8.1, postgresql-client-common, postgresql-common, ssl-cert, postgresql-8.1, postgresql-contrib-8.1, postgresql-doc-8.1 During the configuration postgresql-common gives one error in the postinst script and stops, and postgresql-8.1 and postgresql-contrib-8.1 don't configure themselves as a consequence, being left unusable. This is the relevant output: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Setting up postgresql-common (58) ... useradd: invalid numeric argument 'postgres' adduser: `/usr/sbin/useradd -d /var/lib/postgresql -g postgres -s /bin/bash -u 106 postgres' returned error code 3.
