Package: dbconfig-common Version: 1.8.13 Severity: normal Hey Sean,
I know that this issue was raised in other reports, but I wanted a bug
just about this issue, since it is fairly straight forward to fix and is
less broad than the other 'is broken' reports.
So the problem is mainly the chown call. Just wrapping that in an
if `id dbuser` call would do the trick, but is rather simplistic, of
course.
I think the correct approach is to first add the user to postgresql as
the postgres superuser. Then try to connect to the database as that user.
If that succeeds, then either the package has done the correct thing and
added the user already, or postgres has been configured to use passwords,
and we don't need to care.
The only thing we need to do then is check if id $user returns
something, and if so, chown and su - $user, else continue and just use
-U $user.
Hope that's helpful - if you want specific patches, let me know and I'll
take a look at things. Right now, I've only managed to find the chown
call, so pointers would be nice.
Take care,
