[Bug 969462] Re: fails to start after install if invalid locale is set
This bug was fixed in the package postgresql-common - 145 --- postgresql-common (145) unstable; urgency=low [ Christoph Berg ] * pg_ctlcluster: Use install instead of File::Path to create unix_socket_directory. (Introduced in 141, Closes: #710093) [ Martin Pitt ] * debian/maintscripts-functions, configure_cluster(): Do not trust the locale from the environment, as programs like ssh and sudo propagate remote and user locale by default. Instead, only use the locale settings from /etc/environment and /etc/default/locale, to prevent trying to configure the default cluster with a nonexisting or hard to predict locale.

[Bug 969462] Re: fails to start after install if invalid locale is set
In the discussion we found the following compromise: The postinst should ignore the locale from the environment (as sudo and ssh make that unreliable), and instead do the following fallback: * if /etc/default/locale defines a locale, use that * otherwise, if /etc/environment defines a locale, use that (that's a pam_env file, so source that in a subprocess and handle errors!) * otherwise, use C That will break cases where the system locale is defined someplace else, but then people can still either drop and re-create the default cluster, or specify the locale on creating new DBs. ** Package changed: postgresql-9.1 (Ubuntu) = postgresql-common (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: postgresql-common (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided = Low ** Changed in: postgresql-common (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid = In Progress ** Changed in: postgresql-common (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) = Martin Pitt (pitti) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/969462 Title: fails to start after install if invalid locale is set To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/postgresql-common/+bug/969462/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Robie Basak [2013-06-04 8:37 -]: picking some random locale How about C or C.UTF-8? These should be suitable non-random fallbacks, right? That's still not what you would expect on the server, which is usually to use the server's configured system locale. C or C.UTF-8 basically means broken for everybody, as that will have the wrong collation/sorting for all actual languages. I think it is better to fail with an obvious error than to silently create a cluster with an unwanted locale. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/969462 Title: fails to start after install if invalid locale is set To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/postgresql-9.1/+bug/969462/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
