[Pkg-postgresql-public] Bug#697377: postgresql-common throws warnings in the default configuration

[Christoph Berg]

Package: postgresql-common
Version: 134
Severity: important

When any postgresql server package is installed, there are warnings
printed to stderr:

Setting up postgresql-9.2 (9.2.2-1.pgdg+1) ...
Use of uninitialized value in socket at /usr/share/postgresql-common/PgCommon.pm line 679.
Use of uninitialized value in socket at /usr/share/postgresql-common/PgCommon.pm line 686.
Creating new cluster (configuration: /etc/postgresql/9.2/main, data: /var/lib/postgresql/9.2/main)...

This is caused by a missing dependency on netbase in
postgresql-client-common. PgCommon.pm uses getprotobyname() and that
needs /etc/protocols present.

Fixed in bzr r1257:
