Today i've emerged postgresql, the newest aviable version in gentoo portage is 8.0.12 (which is *terribly* bugged). I don't think this version is vannilla, do you? After the installation, when i was working with pgsql there were lot for nasty error messages like is for example: cannot work because X is not X, but it is X (say character varying bug) -> this is fixed in the newer versions or: INSERT INTO configuration (name, value) VALUES ('commentsAllowed', '1'); ERROR: array value must start with "{" or dimension information both of the the name and value are varchar(). Is here any special trick how to insert some text with type of the varchar? I don't think so, do you? I think the best what we can do here is to update pgsql in portage to the newest aviable version (say 8.2.3 *not* 8.0.13). Your regards fr33z Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge postgresql and try to work with it directly using the binary file "psql" Actual Results: A lot of error messages which are really unbelievable Expected Results: Usability and functionallity of the version which is in the official gentoo 2006.1 portage tree marked as *stable* I had running apache2, php5.1.2, mysql5.x (the newest), postgresql 8.0.12, eclipse 3.2.0 stable (this one is not from the gentoo portage, it's downloaded directly from eclipse.org because there is not stable eclipse version in portage, and i wonder why). That's all, no more rellevant program was running all the time.
please don't file bugs like this to Developer Relations. it belongs in the Gentoo Linux component.
Excuse me, but i don't know better place to report this issue. Is here a chance to replace it somewhere else?
