postgresql-common 87 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

postgresql-common (87) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Urgency medium since #472930 is an important bug fix.
  * debian/init.d-functions: If there are no clusters, exit with 4 (LSB-code
    for "unknown status") instead of 0 (which means "service is running", but
    it is debatable and confusing whether all clusters are running if there
    are none at all). (LP: #203966)
  * Update Spanish debconf translations, thanks Javier Fernández-Sanguino
    Peña. (Closes: #473405)
  * t/060_obsolete_confparams.t: Run upgrades under
    default_transaction_read_only=on. t/040_upgrade.t still uses the default
    "off", so both cases get tested. This replicates the problem report from
    Karsten Hilbert.
  * pg_upgradecluster: Work with default_transaction_read_only=on.
  * debian/autovacuum.conf, architecture.html: Point out that this file is
    only relevant for PostgreSQL versions earlier than 8.1. Thanks to Ross
    Boylan for pointing this out.
  * Add t/051_inconsistent_encoding_upgrade.t: Check that upgrades from
    pre-8.3 to 8.3 succeed and have correct encodings if the old DB had a
    database whose encoding did not match the server locale. This reproduces
    #472930.
  * pg_upgradecluster: Fix handling of database encodings on upgrade, since
    8.3 now forces DB encodings and server locale to match:
    - With C locale, keep encoding of DBs on upgrade, just as in previous
      versions. (C is compatible with all encodings, and causes lots of string
      functions not to work correctly, but people still use it deliberately.)
    - With other  locales, create the target DB manually with a compatible
      encoding, and call pg_restore in a way to not create the target DB and
      automatically convert encoding.
    - Closes: #472930, LP: #207779
