Apparently you set a default locale in /etc/environment or somewhere else which does not exist. Please create it (with sudo locale-gen en_US.UTF-8) and then reinstall postgresql or use pg_createcluster.
Please note that directories manually created with initdb cannot be handled through the default init scripts. You should use pg_createcluster (see manpage). ** Changed in: postgresql-8.2 (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Invalid -- postgresql does not start https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/162517 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
