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.
