Good afternoon all,

Just writing to confirm that the postgresql-common package will _always_
create the postgres user to have its home directory in /var/lib/postgresql?
Is that configurable at all?

Thanks,
Don.

Hi Don,

You can configure it by creating the user before installing the package

Ok but otherwise the package will always use /var/lib/postgresql then if it
is the one creating the user?

Thanks,
Don.
