Package: postgresql-common
Version: 43
Severity: minor
I upgraded from an earlier version of postgresql to 8.1 and the home
directory appears to have changed at some point from /var/lib/postgres
to /var/lib/postgresql.
The previous directory no longer exists, however the home directory did
not change as evidenced from the terminal session below. Reinstalling
postgresql-common did not correct the entry. This may be the correct
behavior, but incase it's not, you've been warned :).

Version: 7.5.18
Hi,
since fiddling with the user postgres' home directory turned out to
cause too much trouble, I changed the transitional packages to not
touch it at all. This is somewhat unclean (you'll end up having both
'postgres' and 'postgresql' in /var/lib), but that's better than
breaking stuff.
postgresql (7.5.18) unstable; urgency=low
* Entirely remove the transition of postgres' home directory from
/var/lib/postgres to /var/lib/postgresql. It broke scripts which
hardcoded the old location of postgres' home directory, and is prone to
other subtle breakage.
