[Slackbuilds-users] Upgrading PostgreSQL Using SlackBuild Script

[Adis Nezirovic]

Prior to running PostgreSQL you *must* create database cluster with:
  $ su postgres -c "initdb -D /var/lib/pgsql/data"
This is specified in the readme file and rc script itself.
(Other distriobutions create database cluster directly from rc script,
IMHO very bad idea)
There is also pkgtool script to create postgresql user/group and
initialize cluster.

Our rc.script should warn you that database cluster isn't initialized,
maybe rc script isn't copied during upgrade, check for
/etc/rc.d/rc.postgresql.new file?
