Uh, I looked at the pg_ugprade code and the error message is:
pg_fatal("Your installation contains \"contrib/isn\" functions which rely on the\n"
"bigint data type. Your old and new clusters pass bigint values\n"
"differently so this cluster cannot currently be upgraded. You can\n"
"manually upgrade databases that use \"contrib/isn\" facilities and remove\n"
"\"contrib/isn\" from the old cluster and restart the upgrade. A list of\n"
"the problem functions is in the file:\n"
" %s\n\n", output_path);
and the "in database" (which I have changed to capitalized "In database"
in the attached patch), looks like:
fprintf(script, "In database: %s\n", active_db->db_name);
meaning it _isn't_ an output error message, but rather something that
appears in an error file. I don't think either of these are translated.
Is that wrong?
