Package: postgresql-common Version: 200+deb10u1 Severity: important The upgrade message has urgency=high and uses language giving much importance to what is written, speaking about db corruption, but is not usable for those like me who do not know how postres works. Specifically:
1) if that is really urgent, why the upgrade script does not do it itself, or at least gives interactive guidance on how to do it? 2) the suggested command 'postgres reindexdb --all' does not exist on my system, at least not in the PATH; the only executable I found which is named postgres is /usr/lib/postgresql/11/bin/postgres, but I do not know if it's the right one 3) I found a reindexdb command in the PATH, and tried that one, but I get # reindexdb --all reindexdb: could not connect to database template1: could not connect to server: No such file or directory Is the server running locally and accepting connections on Unix domain socket "/var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5433"? I can see that there is a socket at /var/run/postgresql/11-main.pg_stat_tmp, but I do not know if that's the right one 4) I tried the suggested alternative pg_upgradecluster, but I get: # pg_upgradecluster Usage: /usr/bin/pg_upgradecluster [OPTIONS] <old version> <cluster name> [<new data directory>] and again I do not know what to do. Aptitude tells me that I have postgresql installed because # aptitude why postgresql-11 i wwwconfig-common Suggests postgresql-client i A postgresql-client Depends postgresql-client-11 i A postgresql-client-11 Suggests postgresql-11 so apparently I don't need it and unistalled it, but I suppose the above observations still hold Thank you for maintaining this piece of software -- IPIN'19 http://ipin2019.isti.cnr.it Voice: +39.050.621.3058 Francesco Potortì (ricercatore) Mobile: +39.348.8283.107 ISTI - Area della ricerca CNR Skype: wnlabisti via G.
