Fixed in trunk r941. Thanks for your report!

Oh, some further explanation: Apparently your system default $PATH has some non-default directories, like /tmp/ or /home. That's what's causing this error.

This bug was fixed in the package postgresql-common - 101

---------------
postgresql-common (101) unstable; urgency=low

  * debian/supported-versions: Only support 8.4 in Ubuntu 9.10. (LP: #403381)
  * PgCommon.pm, change_ugid(): Fix taint error. (LP: #403693)
  * Update Swedish debconf translations, thanks Martin Bagge!
    (Closes: #539216)
  * t/090_multicluster.t: Run psql error tests under LC_MESSAGES=C to not fail
    under non-English locales.
  * pg_upgradecluster: Do not try to migrate "stats_*" settings to
    "track_counts" again if track_counts is already set. This led to disabling
    autovacuum on a 8.3 → 8.4 migration. (Closes: #540351)
  * pg_upgradecluster: Fix owner of pg_hba.conf after upgrade, to also work in
    tight umask settings.
  * debian/control: Bump Standards-Version to 3.8.3; no changes necessary.
  * debian/control: Re-promote ssl-cert to Depends:. Dropping to recommends
    does not buy anything and causes regressions. (Closes: #540982)
