Ok, I found the problem. There are two buggy files in this package coming from |
| 48 |
postgress. |
| 49 |
The files global1.bki.source and local1_template1.bki.source contain a few |
| 50 |
lines like |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
proname = ame |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
but that should be |
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
proname = name |
| 57 |
|
| 58 |
As a quick fix try |
| 59 |
|
| 60 |
cp global1.bki.source global1.orig |
| 61 |
sed -e "s:= ame:= name:" global1.orig > global1.bki.source |
| 62 |
|
| 63 |
same for local1... |
| 64 |
|
| 65 |
Then initdb should work. At least it worked here after that fix. |
| 66 |
|
| 67 |
I update the package at the moment, so that problem is fixed in |
| 68 |
postgresql-7.0.3-r1. |
