When I wanna do anything with Synaptic or apt-get
or stop,start,restart postgresql
I receive following error
Setting up postgresql-common (114) ... * Starting PostgreSQL 8.4 database server * Insecure directory in $ENV{PATH} while running with -T switch at /usr/bin/pg_ctlcluster line 63. [fail] invoke-rc.d: initscript postgresql, action "start" failed. dpkg: error processing postgresql-common (--configure): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: postgresql-common E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
I'm using ubuntu 11.04 .
I canceled upgrade to 11.10 last night during upgrade,and changed source.list
, then reload package information from Synaptic. Maybe this is related to the issue in some way, however, I changed source.list
back to default and reload it again, but, it doesn't solve my problem.
