I had the same problem (Hardy server edition) after downgrading from 8.3 to 8.2, setting up a cluster to use LATIN2 as the default encoding, and then trying to upgrade back to 8.3 using Synaptic and aptitude, as opposed to dpkg. The upgrade fails because there is an existing cluster, but for some reason it fails silently using Synaptic/aptitude, while dpkg produces an error message:
Setting up postgresql-8.3 (8.3.3-0ubuntu0.8.04) ... Configuring already existing cluster (configuration: /etc/postgresql/8.3/main, data: /var/lib/postgresql/8.3/main, owner: 106:113) Error: move_conffile: required configuration file /var/lib/postgresql/8.3/main/postgresql.conf does not exist Error: could not create default cluster. Please create it manually with pg_createcluster 8.3 main --start or a similar command (see 'man pg_createcluster'). So... the bug should be that when installing postgresql-8.3 on Hardy using Synaptic/aptitude when there is an existing cluster, the install fails silently. It should display the same error message as dpkg. -- PostgreSQL 8.3 server package very incomplete (missing all of /var/lib/postgresql/8.3) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/235379 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
