Thanks for the report. From the log, it looks as if the postinst doesn't check if psql is actually running, which it requires it to be.

[Ante Karamatić (ivoks)]

Well, I can confirm this, but installation of bacula-director-pgsql depends running Postgre database. If database isn't running, bacula can't create tables. You can solve this problem by starting pgsql and running 'dpkg --configure -a'.

Thanks for the answers, and its right, i don't start the postgresql daemon
at boot time, i just did a chmod -x to the service script, i'll try to start
the service and reinstall the bacula-director-pgsql and let you know if
this(it should...) works.

thank you

Even if postgresql was running, reinstallation of bacula-director-pgsql would fail.

I believe this is fixed in ubuntu-bacula PPA for intrepid and hardy:

https://edge.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-bacula/+archive/ppa

and for those that would like to have bacula packages for hardy backported from intrepid, they are at my personal PPA:

https://edge.launchpad.net/~ivoks/+archive/ppa

Please test those packages and report results. Thank you

Attached is patch for 8.04.x. In Jaunty and newer this bug doesn't exist.

[Ante Karamatić (ivoks)]

Docs should be modified to mention that before installing -mysql or -pgsql version of directors, one should have working mysql or postgresql services. Those services can be on localhost or any other reachable server.

[Ante Karamatić (ivoks)]

Not a papercut cause it doesn't affect Lucid.

[Thierry Carrez (ttx)]

Closing as fixreleased in lucid based on previous comment

[Connor Imes (ckimes)]

Moving to ubuntu-docs package per doc team policy.

[Matthew East (mdke)]

Adam - can you check if this bug is fixed in the current server guide?

[Connor Imes (ckimes)]

The Ubuntu Documentation team has moved the serverguide out of the ubuntu-docs source, it is now under the serverguide project. Moving this bug accordingly.

[Connor Imes (ckimes)]

Added a note to the Bacula documentation.
