The following bug has been logged online:
Bug reference: 2333
Logged by: kevin barnes
Email address: vinbarnes(at)gmail(dot)com
PostgreSQL version: 8.1
Operating system: ubuntu 5.10
Description: dropdb ignores the database name argument
Details:
In the 8.1 release on Unbuntu 5.10 there is an error with the dropdb command
in /usr/bin. The error manifests itself by not respecting the DBNAME
argument. It assumes that you want to connect to a database named 'postgres'
and ignores whatever argument you give it. The error returned is:
dropdb: database removal failed: ERROR: database "postgres" does not exist
The error is actually correct, because I do not have a database named
postgres, but the command does not work correctly.
I downgraded through apt-get to 8.0 and dropdb works as expected. I believe
the version I was running was 8.1.3.
