Package: php4-pgsql
Version: 3:4.3.10-5
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

        Hi,

it seems that after my upgrade to postgresql-7.4, php can't connect
anymore to the SQL server locally. It looks for the UNIX socket in
/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432 while it is actually in
/var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5432.

I don't remember having changed anything about the location of the
socket, either in PHP or Postgres configuration files. Although, it is
possible to workaround this, for instance:
# ln -sf /var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5432 /tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432

I just thought this would certainly harm only local connections, so I
set the severity to "Grave" in the first place, but feel free to lower
it if you think it won't affect a vast majority of users. Another
workaround then could be to allow local TCP connections and use the
loopback address (which is the default iirc).

HTH.
