Hello Chris,
> One workaround, the one employed in the tests is to revert to the old > behaviour for the PostgreSQL service by setting socket-directory to #f. You're right, sorry about the breakage. As you noticed we are in an in-between situation where the patch updating Postgresql package to use "/var/run/postgresql" by default is only on core-updates, but the service is already using it as a default on master. This means that "createdb", "dropdb" and other Postgresql user tools need to have an explicit "-h /var/run/postgresql" argument for now. Until the package patch gets merged in the master branch, we could set the "socket-directory" field of <postgresql-config-file> record to #f to restore an acceptable default behaviour. WDYT? Sorry again for breaking things, Mathieu
