Package: postgresql Version: 7.4.7sarge1 After upgrading from version 7.4.7 to version 7.4.7sarge1 I got the following error in autovacuum_log: [2005-05-31 03:48:21 PM] Failed connection to database template1 with error: FATAL: the database system is starting up. [2005-05-31 03:48:21 PM] Error: Cannot connect to template1, exiting.
and I was not able to connect to any database anymore I then tried to reconstruct template1 by running initdb, but failed After that I removed the package 7.4.7sarge1 and removed al files in /etc/postgres/* and all files and directories in /var/lib/postgres and then reinstalled 7.4.7sarge1. The installation hangs when initdb is trying to build template1: The database cluster will be initialized with locale C. fixing permissions on existing directory /var/lib/postgres/data... ok creating directory /var/lib/postgres/data/base... ok creating directory /var/lib/postgres/data/global... ok creating directory /var/lib/postgres/data/pg_xlog... ok creating directory /var/lib/postgres/data/pg_clog... ok selecting default max_connections... 100 selecting default shared_buffers... 1000 creating configuration files... ok creating template1 database in /var/lib/postgres/data/base/1... and here it hangs. the installation is Debian Sarge regularly upgraded with new versions of all installed packages. uname -a: Linux mtack.xs4all.nl 2.6.6-1-686 #1 Wed May 12 14:57:57 EST 2004 i686 GNU/Linux I off course see this as a very critical error as it makes the use of postgres impossible. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
