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, --Tim __________________________________________________________________ Timothy Burt Duke University, Dept. of Physics 204 FEL Box 90305, Durham N.C. 27708-0305, USA [EMAIL PROTECTED]
