Installing PostgreSQL 9.3 from https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Apt - unable to initi
Hi,
I'm attempting to install PostgreSQL 9.3 from the official PostgreSQL APT repository into a Docker container running Ubuntu 13.04:
https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Apt
There isn't a specific 13.04 package, but then mention that the previous one (12.10) should work.
This blog post seems to imply it's a fairly smooth process:

However, when I actually try to install the package on my system, I get:

I did find this which seems to mention the same error:
https://github.com/teddziuba/docker-postgres/issues/1
https://gist.github.com/bshi/6311159/
However, that specific part isn't mentioned there.
Any thoughts on how to fix the above?

It looks like its running regardless of those errors. Did you try connecting to the server with the psql command-line client? If you run "ps ax" do you see a postmaster process with its various children? Try "telnet localhost 5432". If the server is running, you'll get a reply.

Hi,
Yes, it does seem to be running, however, I'm curious what that error is about, or if there's anything I can do to address it?
If I was to guess, I'd say it's asking me something, and because it's running through Docker, somehow that doesn't work with dialog. However, I'm not sure, of course.
Is this something I should be worried about?
Cheers,
Victor
Re: Installing PostgreSQL 9.3 from https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Apt - unable to i
I don't know what "Docker" is, but the installer is complaining that you don't have a default terminal set via the TERM environment variable. It tried the usual suspects and fell back to the "Teletype" interface. The Ubuntu default is xterm, as you can see from running the command "echo $TERM" at the command prompt.
Since it found a compatible terminal type, the installation should be fine.
Re: Installing PostgreSQL 9.3 from https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Apt - unable to i
The error roughly translates to: The package itself didn't have any errors during installation, but it wanted to ask you a question and couldn't find a way to do so.
I'm no expert on Docker, but I'm guessing you want the installation to happen without user interference, in which case you should probably put Debconf in non-interactive mode - which will also fix the error:
Code:
DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get install -y postgresql-9.3 postgresql-client-9.3 postgresql-contrib-9.3
