Package: postgresql-common Version: 85 Severity: important Hi,
The pg_ctlcluster does not allow to use all pg_ctl options, the -m option in particular is much needed. User reports failure to stop or restart their PostgreSQL server with /etc/init.d scripts, and resorting to pg_ctlcluster is not helping at all. Even worse, debian packaging makes /usr/lib/postgresql/8.X/bin/pg_ctl tool non-usable, as it's unaware of where to find the .pid and the .conf files given the PGDATA var (/var/lib/postgres/8.X/main/data). Please export all pg_ctl options to pg_ctlcluster wrapper script in a way allowing the user to effectively control its debian PostgreSQL clusters. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.23.13dedibox-r8 Locale: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Versions of packages postgresql-common depends on: ii adduser 3.102 Add and remove users and groups ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.11etch1 Debian configuration management sy ii lsb-base 3.1-23.2etch1 Linux Standard Base 3.1 init scrip ii postgresql-client-common 85 manager for multiple PostgreSQL cl ii procps 1:3.2.7-3 /proc file system utilities ii ssl-cert 1.0.14 Simple debconf wrapper for openssl postgresql-common recommends no packages. -- debconf information: postgresql-common/obsolete-major: -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
