Package: postgresql-7.4 Version: 1:7.4.8-17 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
The init script cannot start postgresql-7.4 (/etc/init.d/postgresql-7.4 start). If I attempt to start it by hand with: sudo -u postgres /usr/lib/postgresql/7.4/bin/pg_ctl start -w -D /var/lib/postgresql/7.4/main/ -l /var/log/postgresql/postgresql-7.4-main.log I get: waiting for postmaster to start..../usr/lib/postgresql/7.4/bin/pg_ctl: line 417: 31939 Bus error "$po_path" ${1+"$@"} ${PGDATAOPTS+$PGDATAOPTS} </dev/null >>$logfile 2>&1 ............. This suggests that the postmaster process is getting a SIGBUS. I was successfully running postgresql before the shift to the new layout, so this is a recent regression on mips. If I have to upgrade postgresql to recover, I'd like advice on how to get my data out of the database and into the new version, although I can cope with having to restore from backup and reenter anything that's been changed since. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (650, 'testing'), (600, 'unstable') Architecture: mips Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.4.25 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages postgresql-7.4 depends on: ii libc6 2.3.5-6 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libcomerr2 1.38-2 common error description library ii libgcc1 1:4.0.1-2 GCC support library ii libkrb53 1.3.6-5 MIT Kerberos runtime libraries ii libpam0g 0.76-23 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii libpq3 1:7.4.8-17 PostgreSQL C client library ii libreadline5 5.0-10 GNU readline and history libraries ii libssl0.9.7 0.9.7e-3 SSL shared libraries ii postgresql-client-7.4 1:7.4.8-17 front-end programs for PostgreSQL ii postgresql-common 25 manager for PostgreSQL database cl ii zlib1g 1:1.2.2-4 compression library - runtime postgresql-7.4 recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
