BUG #6337: Startup Script

The following bug has been logged on the website:

Bug reference:      6337
Logged by:          Gabriel Mart=C3=ADnez
Email address:      gabriel.martinez@greencore.co.cr
PostgreSQL version: 8.4.9
Operating system:   Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS
Description:=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20

After the installation of postgresql (sudo apt-get install postgresql) isn't
possible to start the service (sudo /etc/init.d/postgresql-8.4 start),
simply doesn't happen anything and there is nothing in the logs.

Searching in Internet, I found this:

So I changed the startup script and was possible to start the service.

Has anyone else reported this issue?.
