>Description:
1) When updating the package, the package's Makfile first
removes the existing install directory (pre-install target);
it then depends on the REQ script to create the install
directory (${PREFIX}/${PGUSER}) by means of addnerd(8).
However, if the desired PGUSER and PGGROUP are already present
in the system (i.e. from a previous installation), addnerd(8)
will not create the install directory, and installation will
fail.
2) The executables being installed are not being strip(1)'ped
(${PREFIX}/${PGUSER}/bin/{ecpg,pg_dump,pg_id,pg_passwd,pg_version,
pgtclsh,pgtksh,postgres,psql}).
>How-To-Repeat:
1) Delete package, don't bother with removing the user/group IDs,
attempt to install again.
2) Observation.
>Fix:
None supplied.
