Thread: PG 9.1 on Debian Squeeze
Hello all, I'm not sure if this is the correct place for this, but here goes: I've just installed Postgres 9.1.1 from backports.debian.org on a fresh installation of Debian Squeeze, and when I run psql here's what I get: rod@simecom:~$ psql -U postgres -h localhost Can't exec "dpkg-architecture": No such file or directory at /usr/bin/psql line 103. Use of uninitialized value $multiarch in scalar chomp at /usr/bin/psql line 104. Password for user postgres: psql (9.1.1) SSL connection (cipher: DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA, bits: 256) Type "help" for help. postgres=# It looks to me as if there's a bug there somewhere.

The question remains whether postgresql-client(-common) should "Depends:" from dpkg-dev -- this should be "reportbug postgresql-client"ed.

I believe Martin has just put together some packages which resolve that issue (and, it shouldn't :). Thanks, Stephen

Do you know if they'll be available from backports, or do I get them elsewhere? Thanks for your help, Ray. -- Raymond O'Donnell :: Galway :: Ireland rod@iol.ie
