Package: postgresql
Version: 8.4.11-0squeeze1
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks unrelated software


The upgrade process failed on package postgres while restarting the server.
The error message was: 
    The PostgreSQL server failed to start. Please check the log output: 
    2012-05-11 11:13:33 WEST FATAL: could not open lock file 
"/var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5432.lock": Permission denied

Same error appears whe trying to start the package by hand, running 
/etc/init.d/postgres start

Tried to chmod 777 /var/run/postgresql but permissions are reset when 
restarting the server. 
Permissions on /var/run/postgresql are:
    drwxrwsr-x 2 postgres postgres 4096 May 11 10:21 /var/run/postgresql

Hello Fernando,

I'm afraid it is like that -- inexplicable and unreproducible. If you
ever manage to get into this situation again, please add the output of

  id postgres
  ls -lR /var/run/postgresql/
  
to a bug report.

I'm closing this report, as there is nothing I can do about this at
this point, I'm afraid.

Thanks!

Martin
