[FIXED] Re: can not restart posgresql after dist-upgrade - debian

hi all,
manged to overcome the issue. the problem was with the shebang line of
the pg_ctlcluster script.

i replaced the switch '-T' with a '-t', turning Perl's 'tainting
checks' to 'tainting warnings'.

thanks

p.s. turning security off is never a solution.
