As it says, there already is a cluster 'main' for 8.2 (since this is created by default on package installation). This is done so that a fresh installation works out of the box without the need to create a cluster first, but of course it clashes when you try to upgrade 8.1/main and 8.2/main exists, too. The recommended procedure is to do remove the 8.2 one with pg_dropcluster 8.2 main --stop and then pg_upgradecluster. This procedure is explained in README.Debian, section Default clusters and upgrading. Since you read it, can you please give me some hints how to improve the documentation? Well, actually I did run that pg_dropcluster 8.2 main --stop as you can see from the log. My mistake was that I thought I should do the upgrade under postgres system account. However, I had to do it when being root. Should I improve README.Debian somehow? pg_upgradecluster could explain how to drop the cluster? Anything else? Please add a siple uid check to the script so that it will print an informative message when run with not enough priveleges and possibly add a note to the README file.

Hi, Stanislav Maslovski [2008-01-14 11:39 +0300]: Well, actually I did run that pg_dropcluster 8.2 main --stop as you can see from the log. My mistake was that I thought I should do the upgrade under postgres system account. However, I had to do it when being root. Ah, I see. Should I improve README.Debian somehow? pg_upgradecluster could explain how to drop the cluster? Anything else? Please add a siple uid check to the script so that it will print an informative message when run with not enough priveleges and possibly add a note to the README file. In fact I had this check in previous versions, but some people asked me to make pg_*cluster work under the postgres account, too, provided that the permissions of /etc/postgresql and /var/lib/postgresql/ were sufficient (i. e. writable by postgres). Seems that the default setup does not match this, at least not for upgrades. Thanks for the details, I'll improve the error mesage.
