nanardon Hi, This bug was filed against cauldron, but we do not have cauldron at the moment. Please report whether this bug is still valid for Mageia 2. Thanks :) Cheers, marja Keywords:

Description of problem: This one is a bit weird, but I have seen it twice and can reproduce it. It seems that postgresql 9.1 can only start once some extra thing is installed, and that extra component is part of the apache2 dependencies, not the postgresql ones. How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Remove apache, postgresql to start with a clean system: urpme apache-mpm-prefork ; urpme postgresql9.1; urpme postgresql9.1-server ; urpme postgresql9.1-plpgsql ; urpme postgresql9.1-contrib; urpme --auto-orphans rm -rf /var/lib/pgsql/ 2. Install JUST postgres: urpmi postgresql9.1 postgresql9.1-server postgresql9.1-plpgsql postgresql9.1-contrib 3. The installer complains: Failed to issue method call: Unit postgresql.service failed to load: No such file or directory. See system logs and 'systemctl status postgresql.service' for details. warning: %posttrans(postgresql9.1-server-9.1.3-1.mga2.x86_64) scriptlet failed, exit status 1 4. Manually starting it complains: # service postgresql start Starting postgresql (via systemctl): Failed to issue method call: Unit postgresql.service failed to load: No such file or directory. See system logs and 'systemctl status postgresql.service' for details. [FAILED] # systemctl status postgresql.service postgresql.service Loaded: error (Reason: No such file or directory) Active: inactive (dead) since Wed, 14 Mar 2012 00:22:12 +0000; 1min 45s ago Main PID: 6056 (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) I also noticed that /var/lib/pgsql/data is rather empty. 5. Now install apache2: urpmi apache-mpm-prefork-2.2.22-3 (and all 47 dependencies) 6. It is now possible to start postgresql. Sorry this report only explains what happens and not why!
