I had problems with PostgreSQL 7.1 in Sid at this very point and now it
seems to be working. Sorry I didn't save the transcript, but the problem
for me was where the postinst script was creating /var/lib/postgres/.profile:
this .profile attempts to source /etc/postgresql/postmaster.env --
but this file didn't exist! However, /etc/postgresql/postgresql.env
*did* exist. So maybe I did something bad... but I symlinked
the missing file to the existing one. It proceeded with the install
and didn't complain! ;-)
HTH,
