Package: postgresql-7.4
Version: 1:7.4.8-17
Severity: normal
Hi,
Some time ago, I "crossgraded" the Postgresql 7.4 installation to the
new postgresql-common and postgresql-7.4 packaging.
In the earlier postgresql instalations, one could define environment
variables in postgresql.env or postmaster.conf which then were exported
to the postmaster, and we could use it as LOCATION when creating new
databases in other locations.
I happen to have such legacy databases, and recently wanted to drop one
of them, and got the following error message:
dropdb: database removal failed: ERROR: postmaster environment variable
"PGDATAEXTERN" not found
Not only that the environment variable setting was not migrated, I also
did not find the right place to reinstantiate this setting.
All the init scripts seem to be generic for the different postgresql
versions, and the postmaster itsself is a binary...
So I'm stuck with either dropping the whole cluster (and thus having to
migrate about 50 gig into a new cluster without stopping production
environment), or having an empty zombie-database lingering around which
confuses users.
Thanks,
Markus

Closes: 340166
Changes:
postgresql (7.5.16) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Bump Standards-Version.
* Start cluster after library path adaption in postgresql.conf, not before.
* Migrate custom settings in postgresql.env and postmaster.conf to the new
environment file. Closes: #340166
* debian/control: Bump postgresql-common dependency to 40, which supports
environment file handling.
* test-psql-transition: Use set +e after the actual transition to be able to
examine status even after failures.
* Create a fake postgresql.conf in preinst and remove it in postinst again,
now that psotgresql-common actually checks for the existance of it to
decide whether to create a cluster.
