[Pkg-postgresql-public] Trouble with backports

[Andreas Tille]

Hi,

I reported about problems with the backport on a Sparc machine when trying to
connect via TCP/IP.  Now I tried to verify this problem on an i386 box in a
woody chroot environment.  I tried to compile the backport from source and
also tested the provided binaries.  In fact also here does TCP/IP not work.
I tested

  postgres@ehec0:~ psql template1
  Welcome to psql 7.3.4, the PostgreSQL interactive terminal.
  ...
  postgres@ehec0:~$ psql -h 127.0.0.1 template1
  psql: FATAL:  IDENT authentication failed for user "postgres"

I did not changed the default configuration for this test.  Moreover I did
several tests with other configurations but was not able to get a working
TCP/IP connection neither from localhost nor from other host (after enabling
it in pg_hba.conf).

Kind regards

        Andreas.

PS: When compiling the backport I detected two missing Build-Depends:
     gettext and g++ .
