Package: postgresql-7.4
Version: 1:7.4.12-3
Severity: normal
I was stuck by a (seemingly minor, but that eludes me) minor error of the
updating process :
pc3-ec:~# dpkg --configure --pending
Setting up postgresql-7.4 (7.4.12-3) ...
Starting PostgreSQL 7.4 database server: maininvoke-rc.d: initscript
postgresql-7.4, action "start" failed.
dpkg: error processing postgresql-7.4 (--configure):

Errors were encountered while processing:
postgresql-7.4
postgresql-contrib-7.4
postgresql-7.4-plr
postgresql
postgresql-contrib
Then the lightning struck :
pc3-ec:~# /etc/init.d/postgresql-7.4 stop
Stopping PostgreSQL 7.4 database server: main.
And, of course :
pc3-ec:~# dpkg --configure --pending
Setting up postgresql-7.4 (7.4.12-3) ...
Starting PostgreSQL 7.4 database server: main.
Setting up postgresql-contrib-7.4 (7.4.12-3) ...
Restarting PostgreSQL 7.4 autovacuum daemon: main.
Setting up postgresql-7.4-plr (0.6.2-2) ...
Setting up postgresql (7.5.18) ...
Setting up postgresql-contrib (7.5.18) ...
Coud this annoying behaviour be corrected ?
And, BTW : some instruction on how to transition from 7.x to 8.x "the
Debian way" would be welcome...
Sincerely,
Emmanuel Charpentier
