Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: postgresql-8.4

postgresql-8.4 8.4.3-0ubuntu9.10.1 on Karmic amd64.

The certificate files are in /var/lib/postgresql/8.4/main/ however the
config files are in /etc/postgresql/8.4/main.  In the mainstream
postgresql documentation seen at [1] and [2]

1: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/interactive/config-setting.html
2: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/interactive/ssl-tcp.html

... the upstream developers claim that both the config files and the SSL
data is stored in "the data directory".  Therefore a user familiar with
postgresql operations would expect them to both be in the same place.
This departure from upstream practice seems maddening, and in fact I
just wasted half a day trying to figure out why the server wasn't using
my certificates in /etc/postgresql/8.4/main.

** Affects: postgresql-8.4 (Ubuntu)
