I have Debian and Postgres installed from .deb package. Postgres is
installed in /usr/lib/postgresql by default and it contains readpgenv.
Psql stops working as described, when I remove executable attribute
from readpgenv. readpgenv is a bash script and has only 3 lines:
#!/bin/bash
. /etc/postgresql/postgresql.env
env

postgresql.env file is an export of PGDATA/PGLIB/PGACCES_HOME variables
