Hi, I finally upgraded to woody and mostly everything went smoothly or I could solve them myself.
But two problems I couldn't figure out myself: 1) I have my xserver up and running. But dpkg tells me that it isn't able to configure a bunch (12) of xservers. Just one server as an example: Setting up xserver-svga (3.3.6-39) ... dpkg: error processing xserver-svga (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 10 This actually the one I'm using. What can/should I do? I guess I could safely uninstall the once I'm not using, but what about xserver-svga? 2) Big problem postgresql: During the upgrade process I let the installer try to do an automatic update. This obviously failed: In the automatic_update.log I just have the line Stopping and restarting the postmaster. Trying to start the postmaster gives: The database is in an older format that cannot be read by version 7.1 of PostgreSQL. The post-installation script should attempt to upgrade the database automatically. If it fails, it must be done by hand. *** READ /usr/share/doc/postgresql/README.Debian.migration.gz FIRST! *** The version 7.1 postmaster cannot be started until this is done. I tried to do the manual update as explained in the README.Debian.migration but no success. I finally tried it really by hand, using the programs in /usr/lib/postgresql/dumpall/6.5. But starting the postmaster there and than using pg_dumpall gives: Unsupported frontend protocol. process_hba_record: invalid syntax in pg_hba.conf file Missing or erroneous pg_hba.conf file, see postmaster log for details psql: Missing or erroneous pg_hba.conf file, see postmaster log for details \connect template1 select datdba into table tmp_pg_shadow from pg_database where datname = 'template1'; delete from pg_shadow where usesysid <> tmp_pg_shadow.datdba; drop table tmp_pg_shadow; copy pg_shadow from stdin; Unsupported frontend protocol. process_hba_record: invalid syntax in pg_hba.conf file Missing or erroneous pg_hba.conf file, see postmaster log for details psql: Missing or erroneous pg_hba.conf file, see postmaster log for details \. Unsupported frontend protocol. process_hba_record: invalid syntax in pg_hba.conf file Missing or erroneous pg_hba.conf file, see postmaster log for details psql: Missing or erroneous pg_hba.conf file, see postmaster log for details ... And indeed: pg_hba.conf is a symlink to the new pg_hba.conf in /etc/postgresql. Any idea how I could get my data back? Thanks a lot in advance! Andreas Gösele
