PostgreSQL Install : Elementary OS marked as "Unknown Distribution"

[Herbert Guillaume]

Just a cosmetic warning as I see it.

When installing postgresql-9.1 on Elementary OS, apt is complaining with a warning at postgresql-common setup that Elementary OS is an "Unknown distribution", and is asking to submit a bug report to the distribution.

Here the message :

Paramétrage de postgresql-common (129ubuntu1) ...
supported_versions: WARNING! Unknown distribution: elementary OS
Please submit this as a bug report to your distribution.

[Sergey "Shnatsel" Davidoff (shnatsel)]

So PostgreSQL doesn't have an elementary OS option in its list of known distros. I'm not sure what are we supposed to do about it.

There is no Elementary distribution in Launchpad, so I reassign this to the elementary project. If a derivative modifies the lsb_release output, it declares itself "independent" from the corresponding Ubuntu releases, and I can't know which version of PostgreSQL you are supporting in which Elementary release. Thus you have to modify p-common in elementary itself to add your "distro release → psql release(s)" mapping.
