Problem:
I'm trying to use the dropdb utility command in non-interactive mode to drop an existing database (with active connections) in a test environment, but it keeps prompting me for the password.
Here's what I'm running with `.pgpass` with valid permissions (0600) and location (users home directory, though I've also explicitly set the path using PGPASSFILE envvar). This pass file was validated to work with other utility commands like pg_dump.
Note: "myserverhost" is not a real host - I've just redacted our actual hostname for this bug report.
Command:
```
```
Response:
```
dropdb: error: could not connect to database template1: connection to server at "<
myserverhost.amazonaws.com>" (<redacted IP>), port 5432 failed: fe_sendauth: no password supplied
```
Note the `template1` error despite me passing the correct database name.
To confirm that nothing is wrong with my `.pgpass` file, I ran `pg_dump` and `pg_restore` and they ran fine (without any assistance of envvars like PGPASSWORD). `dropdb` also seems to work fine if I provide an explicit password through the environment.
What I expect to happen:
The command should read from my valid `.pgpass` file and drop the database
Thank you.
