I suppose that it's coming out of some script supplied by the Ubuntu packager. I'd suggest looking into the start script, or asking the packager exactly how he's testing this. What it looks like is that the database isn't actually compatible with the server and/or start script that you have, but it's impossible to say more than that with just this information. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
