Package: postgresql
Version: 7.4.7-6sarge3
Severity: normal
aftre update to libc version 2.3.6.ds1-4, the following error rises:
ERROR: ERROR: PostgreSQL postmaster did not start because of an unknown reason.
PostgreSQL's init script (/etc/init.d/postgresql) attempted
to start the postmaster, however, this failed because of an unknown
reason.
This should not happen and is a serious problem. Please examine the
situation (please take a look at the log files). If you know the
reason why it failed and, then please file a bug report to Debian
(unless the reason is something obvious like a full disk).
Debian PostgreSQL
in the log:
FATAL: XX000: failed to initialize lc_messages to ""
LOCATION: InitializeGUCOptions, guc.c:1880
the dependency on libc should be restricted.

In the absence of any further information there is little I can do
about this. I believe that the reason for the failure is the
explanation above, which is outside the scope of postgresql itself.
The Etch packages have a better error message for this, too.
Thus I am closing this bug until further information arrives.
Thank you!
Martin
