Yes, it is there with 1.8.4
The good news is I have found the problem.

db-test-pgsql also fails to install.
Have a look at this from a typescript
++ su postgres -c 'env HOME='\''/tmp/dbconfig-common.psql_home.pyK3Ao'\''
PGSSLMODE='\''prefer'\'' psql --set ON_ERROR_STOP=1 -q -U '\''postgres'\'' -U
'\''postgres'\'' template1'^M
+ dbc_error=^M
+ retval=1^M
and this:
fozzie:~# su postgres
fozzie:~# id
uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root)
fozzie:~# grep postgres /etc/passwd
postgres:x:108:108:PostgreSQL administrator,,,:/var/lib/postgresql:/bin/false
/bin/false means you need to su -s /bin/sh
postgresql-common.postinst creates the postgres system user:
if [ "$1" = configure ]; then
# Make sure the administrative user exists
if ! getent passwd postgres > /dev/null; then
adduser --system --quiet --no-create-home --home /var/lib/postgresql
--group --gecos "PostgreSQL administrator" postgres
fi
adduser(8) states:
A home directory is created by the same rules as for normal users. The
new system user will have the shell /bin/false (unless overridden with
Therefore dbconfig-common will not work with postgresql using that
database in its default setup.
Fortunately the solution is trivial, make su use specify a shell.
That fixes the first set of bugs.
Now, a chown problem, I'm using db-test-pgsql.
Why does this happen? From the typescript again with the su fixed.
+ chown -R dbtestpgsql /tmp/dbconfig-common.psql_home.5tU57X^M
chown: `dbtestpgsql': invalid user^M
Indeed! it is an invalid user, its not a unix user but a postgresql
user.

I can do that, but db-test-pgsql is a decent enough test for now.
