Bug#641913: gforge-db-postgresql: Cannot create PostgreSQL database: problem with system local (de_DE@euro)
tag 641913 + wontfix retitle 641913 gforge-db-postgresql requires an Unicode locale (or C) thanks Andreas Karnetzki, 2011-09-17 15:04:27 +0200 : When trying to create the postgresSQL database for the package the post install script reports this failure: [...] CREATE DATABASE's STDOUT: SET CREATE DATABASE's STDERR: ERROR: encoding UTF8 does not match locale de_DE@euro DETAIL: The chosen LC_CTYPE setting requires encoding LATIN9. Yes, that's because FusionForge is a multi-lingual application, and therefore needs an Unicode database (with UTF-8 encoding). This can only be created if the system locale is either C, POSIX, or an UTF-8 locale. When the system locale that has a different encoding (such as Latin-9 in your case), new databases can only be created with that same encoding (see [1] for details). I don't think there's any sane way around that in the FusionForge packaging; your best bet would be to either upgrade your system locale (and database templates) to Unicode-aware, or to create a new dedicated PostgreSQL cluster on a different port, with a Unicode locale.

Can’t we “just” force C then? (For lc_messages anyway, and maybe for lc_collate too… oh but for lc_ctype we definitively need a UTF-8 locale or C.UTF-8 which is wheezy-specific though.) Hrm. So PostgreSQL seems to only support Unicode when the OS below does?

Ask PostgreSQL guys, I'm just a lowly user :-) Latin-9 in your case), new databases can only be created with that same encoding (see [1] for details). Can’t we “just” force C then?

My understanding is that the locale that is considered is the one that the PostgreSQL daemon runs under; that means the whole cluster, and I'm not comfortable changing settings that affect unrelated databases. Hrm. So PostgreSQL seems to only support Unicode when the OS below does? (Consider a Recommends, or even Depends, on locales-all?) Not sure on the details, but that would seem logical. I'm not sure the dependencies are warranted, though, since it can run even on a locale-less system, and people who need a language-aware database will probably have the appropriate locale already.
