2019-04-19 22:34:55 Brian Murray summary Upgrade to Ubuntu 19.04 removed PostgreSQL databases automatically removed packages includes postgresql-10 which can result in cluster dropping

2019-04-19 22:42:17 Brian Murray description While upgrading to Ubuntu 19.04, the release upgrader removed postgresql-10. To make matters worse, apt/dpkg did NOT ask whether the databases should be kept and simply removed all of them. I believe this is due to removal_blacklist.cfg containing ^postgresql-.*[0-9]\.[0-9].*, which does not match newer releases such as postgresql-10 as it expects an X.Y version scheme. Something like ^postgresql-.*[0-9].* should probably be added in addition. [Impact] Users who choose to autoremove packages can have postgresql-10 removed which during its purge will drop the cluster and its databases. [Test Case] On a cosmic system 1) install postgresql-10 and ubuntu-release-upgrader-core 2) create a test database using psql - create database junk; 3) fill that database with junk using pgbench e.g. pgbench -in -s10 junk 4) verify you have data in /var/lib/postgresql - du -sh /var/lib/postgresql/* 5) run do-release-upgrade 6) choose to automatically remove packages (watch postgresql-10 get removed) 7) observe you have no more data in /var/lib/postgresql With the version of the release upgrader in -proposed postgresql-10 will not be removed, postgresql-11 will not be installed and you'll still have your data. [Regression Potential] The regex could be too generic and prevent some other packages from being removed so look at it closely. While upgrading to Ubuntu 19.04, the release upgrader removed postgresql-10. To make matters worse, apt/dpkg did NOT ask whether the databases should be kept and simply removed all of them. I believe this is due to removal_blacklist.cfg containing ^postgresql-.*[0-9]\.[0-9].*, which does not match newer releases such as postgresql-10 as it expects an X.Y version scheme. Something like ^postgresql-.*[0-9].* should probably be added in addition.
