The following bug has been logged online: Bug reference: 5807 Logged by: Gabe Nell Email address: g...@kikini.com PostgreSQL version: 9.0.2 Operating system: Linux Ubuntu 10.04 Description: psql fails to launch with "Cannot read termcap database; using dumb terminal settings. Aborted" Details:
I am seeing this on fresh installs of Ubuntu 10.04 using the binary installer downloaded from EnterpriseDB: sudo ./postgresql-9.0.2-1-linux.bin --mode unattended --superpassword mypassword Launching psql fails: ubu...@host:~$ /opt/PostgreSQL/9.0/bin/psql -Upostgres Password for user postgres: psql (9.0.2) Type "help" for help. Cannot read termcap database; using dumb terminal settings. Aborted ubu...@host:~$ The above works fine with 9.0.1, suggesting this is a new issue in 9.0.2. I tried both 32bit and 64bit, same problem. Interestingly, the problem doesn't repro under byobu (Ubuntu's enhanced 'screen' utility). -- Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list (pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs
