Package: postgresql-8.1 Version: 8.1.0-2 Severity: normal An apt-get upgrade brought in a new postgresql-common, which informed me that my 8.0 cluster needed to be upgrade to 8.1. Fine. I thought the instructions shown from apt-get were enough, it seems they aren't.
Apt-get said to install postgresql-8.1 and postgresql-client-8.1, do a pg_upgradecluster, and then remove the 8.0 packages from my system. Seemed straight forward enough, but being paranoid I did a pg_dumpall to /tmp/pg_dumpall.2005.11.14 just in case before doing any more package management. I did an apt-get install of all the postgresql*8.1 packages that corresponded to the postgresql*8.0 packages that I had installed. This seemed to work fine. I then looked at the man page for pg_upgradecluster, and was fine with most of the man page. What does a person use for "name"? Do a little googling, and it seems that the name I should use is "main". Okay, try pg_upgradecluster 8.0 main. 8.1 is the most up to date version, so it should default to upgrading to that according to the man page. However, when I execute this command, it comes back and says that "main" already exists, and doesn't run. I suppose I could puzzle out what magic to do to get the upgrade to work. But, since I have backup of the dbase (just in case), I thought I would submit this bug report and see what happens. :-) It might be that just a small adjustment to the documentation I've seen is sufficient, but I suspect there is a little more involved. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.4.27 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages postgresql-8.1 depends on: ii libc6 2.3.5-8 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libcomerr2 1.38-2 common error description library ii libkrb53 1.3.6-5 MIT Kerberos runtime libraries ii libpam0g 0.79-3 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii libpq4 8.1.0-2 PostgreSQL C client library ii libreadline5 5.0-11 GNU readline and history libraries ii libssl0.9.8 0.9.8a-4 SSL shared libraries ii postgresql-client-8.1 8.1.0-2 front-end programs for PostgreSQL ii postgresql-common 31 manager for PostgreSQL database cl ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3-6 compression library - runtime postgresql-8.1 recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
