+postgresql-common (200+deb10u1) buster; urgency=high
+
+ Existing PostgreSQL databases need to be reindexed
+
+ When upgrading from stretch to buster, the glibc locale data is upgraded.
+ Specifically, this changes how PostgreSQL sorts data in text indexes. To
+ avoid corruption, such indexes need to be REINDEXed immediately after
+ upgrading the locales or locales-all packages, before putting back the
+ database into production.
+
+ Suggested command: sudo -u postgres reindexdb --all
+
+ Alternatively, upgrade the databases to PostgreSQL 11 using
+ pg_upgradecluster. (This uses pg_dump by default which will rebuild all
+ indexes. Using -m upgrade or pg_upgrade is not safe because it preserves
+ the now-wrong index ordering.)
+
+ Refer to the PostgreSQL Wiki for more information:
+ https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Locale_data_changes
