I am testing with db-test-multidbtype on etch. I have mysql-server-5.0
(5.0.24a-9), postgresql-8.1 (8.1.5-1), and dbconfig-common (1.8.27)
installed, and did not do any additional configuration of the
databases beyond the default settings on the initial install from the
repository. I have the debconf priority set to "high". I copied the
contents of /usr/share/doc/dbconfig-common/examples to my home
directory. I didn't modify anything in db-test-multidbtype as it
already had the user auth set to password, but I did uncomment the
line
dbc_authmethod_user="password"
in db-test-pgsql-2.0/debian/config. I then ran the buildpackages.sh
script to build the packages.

Installing the package db-test-pgsql_2.0_all.deb with sudo dpkg -i
everything goes smoothly, the user and db are created correctly, and
/etc/dbconfig-common/db-test-pgsql.conf file is populated with the
correct values.

Installing db-test-multidbtype_2.0_all.deb with sudo dpkg -i results
in the same errors and problems that I described in the bug #391997.

Any ideas?
