Package: postgresql-common
Version: 200
Severity: normal

Dear maintainer,

When doing the upgrade of a set of postgresql clusters from 10 to 11, while in
directory /srv/softwareheritage/postgres/11, I ended up typing:

LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 pg_createcluster -d ./testdedup 11 testdedup

Instead of the expected /srv/softwareheritage/postgres/11/testdedup data
directory, this created a data directory /testdedup at the root of the
filesystem.

I'm guessing directory argument parsing/resolution should happen before the
chdir '/', but my Perl is too rusty to prepare a cogent patch, sorry!

Cheers,
Nicolas
