Package: postgresql
Version: 7.4.6-6
Severity: normal
Tags: testing, patch
$2 (old package version) is used in the do_upgrade function to determine
the name of the perserve directory (data.version.save). But global $2
isn't set inside a bash function and so it is empty and produce a
preserve directory equal to "preserve/data..save".
The attached patch fixes this for the unstable version of postgresql.
