** Summary changed: - PostgreSQL 8.3 server package very incomplete (missing all of /var/lib/postgresql/8.3) + PostgreSQL 8.3 server package broken
** Description changed: Binary package hint: postgresql-8.3 Running a standard 'apt-get install postgresql' on a freshly installed Ubuntu 8.04 server should result in a working PostgreSQL installation in /var/lib/postgresql/8.3 with configuration files accessible from /etc/postgresql/8.3, as described in [1]. It does not. - $ /etc/init.d/postgresql start - - does nothing, nor is there any evidence of a running PostgreSQL server - in 'top' or 'ps aux'. - - It seems the packages containing the PostgreSQL server are very - incomplete. By running the above command the following packages are - fetched and installed: - - postgresql_8.3.1-1_all.deb - postgresql-8.3_8.3.1-1_i386.deb - postgresql-client_8.3.1-1_all.deb - postgresql-client-8.3_8.3.1-1_i386.deb - postgresql-client-common_87_all.deb - postgresql-common_87_all.deb - postgresql-contrib_8.3.1-1_all.deb - postgresql-contrib-8.3_8.3.1-1_i386.deb - postgresql-doc_8.3.1-1_all.deb - postgresql-doc-8.3_8.3.1-1_all.deb - - I believe the first two and postgresql-common_87_all.deb should contain - the actual server and config file installations, but they don't. - Manually extracting the package files confirms that they do not contain - anything related to /var/lib/postgresql/8.3 or /etc/postgresql/8.3: - - $ ls -1 - postgresql_8.3.1-1_all.deb - postgresql-8.3_8.3.1-1_i386.deb - postgresql-common_87_all.deb - - $ for i in postgresql*; do dpkg --extract $i . ; done - - $ ls -1 - etc - postgresql_8.3.1-1_all.deb - postgresql-8.3_8.3.1-1_i386.deb - postgresql-common_87_all.deb - postgresql-contrib_8.3.1-1_all.deb - postgresql-contrib-8.3_8.3.1-1_i386.deb - usr - var - - $ ls -1R var - var: - lib - log - - var/lib: - postgresql - - var/lib/postgresql: - - var/log: - postgresql - - var/log/postgresql: - - $ ls -1R etc - etc: - cron.d - init.d - logrotate.d - postgresql-common - - etc/cron.d: - postgresql-common - - etc/init.d: - postgresql-8.3 - - etc/logrotate.d: - postgresql-common - - etc/postgresql-common: - autovacuum.conf - pg_upgradecluster.d - - etc/postgresql-common/pg_upgradecluster.d: - - That's not much to run a DBMS server. Though I believe that these are - the relevant packages I also manually extracted all the others, but as I - said in the beginning, no server is installed and no configuration files - apart from the ones in /usr/share/postgresql/8.3, which are all - .samples. - - I would gladly provide more information, please tell me if I can do - anything. - [1] https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/postgresql.html -- PostgreSQL 8.3 server package broken https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/235379 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
