I am having trouble with a fresh installation of PostgreSQL 15 from the apt repository 'http://apt.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt bullseye-pgdg main'.
After installing the packages the following locations were empty:
- /etc/postgresql/15/main/
- /var/lib/postgresql/
Searching for information suggested running 'sudo pg_createcluster 15 main --start' to initialise the database.
The process failed with the message 'could not open collator for
locale "yue-Hans"'.
Following is the stdout for the process. Any suggestions welcome
Matt.
Creating new PostgreSQL cluster 15/main ...
/usr/lib/postgresql/15/bin/initdb -D /var/lib/postgresql/15/main
--auth-local peer --auth-host scram-sha-256 --no-instructions
The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user
"postgres".
This user must also own the server process.
The database cluster will be initialized with locale
"en_AU.UTF-8".
The default database encoding has accordingly been set to "UTF8".
The default text search configuration will be set to "english".
Data page checksums are disabled.
