[Pkg-postgresql-public] Bug#812206: postgresql-common: pg_upgradecluster (9.1 -> 9.4) fails under lxc; please provide a workaround

[Antonio Terceiro]

Source: postgresql-common
Version: 165
Severity: wishlist

After successfully upgrading a lxc container from wheezy to jessie,
upgrading my PostgreSQL cluster fails like it was reported on the
upstream mailing list:

http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/CAOtHd0A5KQHL5Zv9V0c9i98i7otuwOhk=PM3grxuUgh4TR3JPA@mail.gmail.com

The thread that follows contains patches to solve that, but they were
not applied upstream yet, and currently one cannot upgrade a PostgreSQL
cluster on a lxc container because of that.

It would be nice to either get those patches applied upstream and in
Debian, or at least to have some documented workaround.

In the case we get the patches applied, it would also be awesome if they
could be included in a stable update for jessie.
