Thread: Wrong version of INIT script in postgresql-7.3.8-3PGDG.i686.rpm

Wrong version of INIT script in postgresql-7.3.8-3PGDG.i686.rpm

Folks,

Small bugaboo here, but inclined to cause panic:

Summary:  PostgreSQL 7.4 Init Script included in RPM for 7.3.8 RHEL
Severity: Minor
Affects:  RHEL version 7.3.8 installed via RPM via download from
ftp.postgresql.org
Description:   The "postgresql" init script installed with the
postgresql-7.3.8-3PGDG.i686.rpm
includes the following lines:

# PGVERSION is:
PGVERSION=7.4

This causes PostgreSQL not to start after the upgrade.  It needs to be fixed
to:

# PGVERSION is:
PGVERSION=7.3

Devrim fixed that several days ago, I thought.  When did you pull down the
RPM, and from which mirror?

            regards, tom lane

Aha, it's about 10 days old.   That explains it.

I've fixed for some distros, but could not fix for FC1 (I
currently have no servers running FC1). Instead, created a
README file in FTP directory and explained the problem and workaround.
Just a FYI. You can use FC3 SRPM to build RPMs for FC1.
