Comment 17 for bug 162517

Martin, I appreciate your effort to help me but I am afraid you are missing the point here. Locales have nothing to do with startup scripts.

I analyzed the deb package and especially the installation files. I did the same with the standard installation files from postgres.org.

There is one file missing that I cited above. This is an error in the installation routine.

It might have been there in previous versions and provides the startup after upgrade. But if you install fresh, it is not there. So there is no automatic startup of the database.

Postgres can be started manually and maybe people are happy with it. I am not. I want 100%.

As I stated: copy the file above into /etc/init.d and the problem is solved.

If someone would update the installation package, it would be solved permanently. This is the only solution possible. And its simple.

As to your comment about the locals:

Locals are set correctly, however I use an English system with a German keyboard. The result is ugly error messages. This is a different issue.
