Hi Peter, how are you?

The postgresql transition package indeed attempts to fix it:

    # correct home directory of postgres user
    sed -i '/^postgres:/ s_/var/lib/postgres:_/var/lib/postgresql:_' /etc/passwd

This was done in:

postgresql (7.5.7) unstable; urgency=low

  * Fixed home directory correction in /etc/passwd.

Didn't that work for you or did you just use a previous version of the
transition package and then removed it? If the latter, then this is
just the fate of unstable users and the bug can be closed.

Thanks!

Martin
