The file postgresql-lib.pl does some tricky IPC with psql before it contacts db
over DBI (always, even if nodbi=0).
This code waits for some messages in english (password, user name). At least in
my /etc/environment the following variables
are set:
LANGUAGE="de_DE:de:en_GB:en"
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
The latter one must also be set somewhere else (I didn't find out where). This
results in German messages from psql (it's
called with su to sneak ident-authification). This results in the message named
in Subject.
/etc/passwd:
[...]
postgres:x:106:106:PostgreSQL administrator,,,:/var/lib/postgresql:/bin/bash
[...]
An example for the l10n-dependent code:
postgresql-lib.pl:
[...]
} while($line =~ /^(username|password|user name):/i ||
[...]
I tried some workarounds with:
/var/lib/postgresql/.bashrc
unset LANGUAGE
unset LANG
export LANGUAGE LANG
Those don't work (LANG is besetting).
Finally I found the following workaround:
* Create a file safepsql.sh somewhere (root / resp. webmin-user execution
rights)
safesql.sh ----- begin -----
#!/bin/bash
unset LANG
unset LANGUAGE
/usr/bin/psql "$@"
safesql.sh ------ end ------
* In the module-settings from webmin-postgresql set that program (with path)
for Path to psql command.
Afterwards it should work. I'll post that bug to Debian and Webmin also, so You
can discuss how to solve the problem. Maybe
Webmin should do I think.
