Package: postgresql-common
Version: 43
Severity: minor

I upgraded from an earlier version of postgresql to 8.1 and the home
directory appears to have changed at some point from /var/lib/postgres
to /var/lib/postgresql. 

The previous directory no longer exists, however the home directory did
not change as evidenced from the terminal session below. Reinstalling
postgresql-common did not correct the entry. This may be the correct
behavior, but incase it's not, you've been warned :).
