These variables are not used at all any more. A cluster is selectd with --cluster, /etc/postgresql-common/user_clusters, and ~/.postgresqlrc (see postgresql-common(1)). So the only question is how to get rid of that file. I'm a bit reluctant to unconditionally delete it in the postinst since some admins might actually have customized it. So this probably requires some grep/sed/shell magic... Martin -- Martin Pitt http://www.piware.de Ubuntu Developer http://www.ubuntu.com Debian Developer http://www.debian.org
