Hi.
 
I currently had a client move from linux 7.1 to 7.2, at this point postgres stopped working.  I attempted to install the new rpms, but had many dependency failures.  I attempted to start the postmaster via pg_ctl, but am getting the following error:
 
        bash-2.05$ FATAL 2:  database was initialized with LC_COLLATE 'en_US',
        which is not recognized by setlocale().
        looks like you need to initdb.
 
Does this error reflect that I need to update to rpms that are specific to 7.2 or is there some other problem.  If I run an initdb I can then start the postmaster, I can not however point to the data that I really need.
 
Help!
 
Thank you very much.
