1. RPM postinstall script fails in postgresql-server-7.0.3-2.i386.rpm

   Mark Reibert (mark.reibert@datasoft.com) reports a bug with a severity of 3
   The lower the number the more severe it is.
   
   Short Description
   RPM postinstall script fails in postgresql-server-7.0.3-2.i386.rpm
   
   Long Description
   Installing postgresql-server-7.0.3-2.i386.rpm on a Red Hat 6.2 box resulted in the following:
   
   [root]# rpm -Uvh postgresql-server-7.0.3-2.i386.rpm 
   postgresql-server ##################################################
   /sbin/ldconfig: warning: can't open var/tmp/rpm-tmp.26860 (Not a directory), skipping
   /sbin/ldconfig: warning: can't open 1 (No such file or directory), skipping
   
   This appears to result from attempting to run the RPM post install script through ldconfig, as indicated by the following:
   
   [root]# rpm -qp --scripts postgresql-server-7.0.3-2.i386.rpm
   postinstall script (through /sbin/ldconfig):
   echo PGLIB=/usr/lib/pgsql >> ~postgres/.bash_profile
   echo PGDATA=/var/lib/pgsql/data >> ~postgres/.bash_profile
   echo export PGLIB PGDATA >> ~postgres/.bash_profile
   
   All other scripts in postgresql-server-7.0.3-2.i386.rpm run through /bin/sh as expected.

   Thanks for the bug report -- the 7.1 beta and the latest 7.0.3 (21?)
   RPM's have this fixed, IIRC.  Well, I _know_ the 7.1beta RPM's have it
   fixed.
