Package: postgresql-8.3
Version: 8.3.3-1~bpo40+1
Severity: normal
Hi,
I just upgraded from postgresql-8.2 to postgresql-8.3, and now note that
the old cluster can't be started anymore, or at least, not using the
init script. The problem lies in this statement:
/usr/share/postgresql-common/init.d-functions, function do_ctl_all(),
on line 28:
[ "$start" = "auto" ] || continue
On upgrade, the start.conf of the old cluster is set to "manual", which
causes the actual starting code of this function to be bypassed.
Kind regards,
--Toni++

This is actually deliberate, see man pg_upgradecluster. If you upgrade
a cluster to a new version, the new one gets the old port, the old one
is moved to an unused port and set to manual mode, to avoid starting
both the old and the new one automatically (to prevent
inconsistencies). As the manpage points out, after the upgrade you
should check whether the new cluster works, and if so, remove the old
one; if not, you can pg_dropcluster the new one (8.3) and start all
over again.
Thanks,
Martin
