Hi Romain!

Thanks for the very fast answer!

Small correction to my last message: s/tsepak2/tsearch2/ ;)


Actually I did, and I think you refer to:

====
* Changed postgresql recommends to "postgresql" package
   Closes: #469582
====

This allows mediawiki to be used with any version of the
postgresql-Server, which is good.

However:  To run mediawiki on a postgresql-Server you seem to need
"tsearch2", which is shipped in a seperate package, namely
postgresql-contrib.  Without that package beeing installed, it just
doesn't work.

Beeing not really deep in postgresql myself, I'm not really sure, if
changing the recommends from postgresql to postgresql-contrib is okay;
postgresql-contrib depends on the proper postsql package, so the server
would be pulled in, too.  Maybe the postgresql maintainer can say
something about that?

Got it working :)
Seems like the the configure script is not yet really working;  after
doing an " GRANT ALL on pg_ts_cfg TO wikiadmin;" the config script
finished, and now I have a really nice mediawiki using my
postgres-Database.

I'll set it on my todo-List, promised, but it might take some time for
me to get back to you, since I'm quite busy at the moment.


Yours sincerely,
  Alexander
