Subject: Bug#36300: Postgresql User Guide Wrong

Package: postgresql
Version: 6.4.2-5
Priority: wishlist

I just printed out the entire 200 or so page user guide and on page 7
I noticed a mistake. It says in Chapter 2 "Setting up your environment"

"If you wish to use a variant of the Bourne shell, such as sh, ksh, or bash,
then you would add

PATH=/usr/local/pgsql/bin PATH
export PATH

I tried this with bash and ksh...it works in neither of them giving an
error...the proper invocation is:

PATH=/usr/local/pgsql/bin:$PATH
export PATH

It would be nice if this was right...even though on Debian Systems it
doesn't apply...should be able to just forward this one upstream
