Re: Schmid Andreas
> Now, I had to add a separate pg_createcluster command, which basically wasn't a big deal. However, as I had to do quite some research to understand why all of a sudden my script didn't work anymore, maybe you can give some background about the reasons that led to this change?

Hi,

the old behavior wasn't practical for the majority of users. To
upgrade, you had to install the new PG package and then run
"pg_dropcluster" as the first command. That was weird and possibly
dangerous.
