Hello,
While installing the postgresql-12 server package on Debian Buster I see
the following output:
# apt-get install postgresql-12
...
Creating new PostgreSQL cluster 12/main ...
/usr/lib/postgresql/12/bin/initdb -D /var/lib/postgresql/12/main
--auth-local peer --auth-host md5
...
performing post-bootstrap initialization ... ok
syncing data to disk ... ok
Success. You can now start the database server using:
pg_ctlcluster 12 main start

pg_ctl: server is running (PID: 2733)
/usr/lib/postgresql/12/bin/postgres "-D" "/var/lib/postgresql/12/main"
"-c" "config_file=/etc/postgresql/12/main/postgresql.conf"
So I see the message "Success. You can now start the database server
using:", but in fact the server is running.
From my understanding, the original initdb's message like
/usr/lib/postgresql/12/bin/pg_ctl -D /var/lib/postgresql/12/main -l
logfile start
is substituted with:
pg_ctlcluster 12 main start
But shouldn't both lines ("Success. You can ..." and the following one)
be suppressed when installing the server from the package?
Best regards,
Alexander
