postgresql-common (200+deb10u1) buster; urgency=high Existing PostgreSQL databases need to be reindexed When upgrading from stretch to buster, the glibc locale data is upgraded. Specifically, this changes how PostgreSQL sorts data in text indexes. To avoid corruption, such indexes need to be REINDEXed immediately after upgrading the locales or locales-all packages, before putting back the database into production. Suggested command: sudo -u postgres reindexdb --all Alternatively, upgrade the databases to PostgreSQL 11 using pg_upgradecluster. (This uses pg_dump by default which will rebuild all indexes. Using -m upgrade or pg_upgrade is not safe because it preserves the now-wrong index ordering.) Refer to the PostgreSQL Wiki for more information: https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Locale_data_changes -- Christoph Berg Fri, 12 Apr 2019 14:32:52 +0200 postgresql-common (161) unstable; urgency=medium pg_ctlcluster is now enforcing stricter file ownership on the cluster config when invoked as root, including operation via the init.d script or the systemd unit: The postgresql.conf owner needs match the data directory owner, or the postgresql.conf file needs to be owned by root. Default setups are not affected by this change. -- Christoph Berg Fri, 05 Sep 2014 15:48:13 +0200 postgresql-common (159) unstable; urgency=low PostgreSQL clusters managed by postgresql-common are now systemd enabled. For each cluster, a service "postgresql@-" is created that can be started/stopped/restarted/reloaded. A parent service "postgresql" acts on all installed (start.conf has "auto") clusters in parallel like the init.d script used to do. /etc/init.d/postgresql can still be used, though the mode of starting individual versions ("/e/i/p start 9.3") no longer works. pg_ctlcluster can be used to control clusters, but for start and restart the operation via systemd (using systemctl or the init.d script) is preferred, or else the clusters will not run in cgroups. (Unfortunately this requires root.) If the system is not running systemd, nothing changes. -- Christoph Berg Fri, 18 Jul 2014 23:52:09 +0300 postgresql-common (158) experimental; urgency=medium This postgresql-common release introduces several changes in the defaults used for newly created database clusters, all configurable in /etc/postgresql-common/createcluster.conf: * The default log_line_prefix is now '%t [%p-%l] %q%u@%d ' instead of '%t '. * stats_temp_directory aka pg_stat_tmp is set to a subdirectory of /var/run/postgresql by default. * The use of SSL by default is (pre-)configurable via debconf and createcluster.conf. If the logging_collector or syslog is being used, pg_lsclusters will show the filename (or "syslog") instead of just "custom" in the Log file column. -- Christoph Berg Sat, 05 Jul 2014 16:40:16 +0200
