Package: postgresql

Severity: grave

Justification: renders package unusable

Upon upgrading PostgreSQL wouldn't start. The postinst was failing.
I install PostgreSQL to a location other than /var/lib/. I just
removed /var/lib/postgres as a parameter to chmod, since it already
included $PGHOME on line 439.

< chown -R postgres.postgres ${PGDATA} ${PGHOME} /var/lib/postgres /var/run/postgresql
