This behavior is documented in the README.Debian file provided with the package.
"- The pgbouncer daemon is disabled by default, to enable it you need to set START to 1 in /etc/default/pgbouncer." This is not the only Debianized package to behave this way. Given the amount of manual configuration PGBouncer needs to talk to a production postgresql server, it is logical to have it disabled after initial install, anyway. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1322186 Title: pgbouncer init.d fails to start with no message when start=0 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pgbouncer/+bug/1322186/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
