Hi Team,

Can you please help me to understand the PostgreSQL installer’s debug log.
I am installing PostgreSQL in CentOS 7.6 system with PostgreSQL binary (
postgresql-9.6.6-1-linux-x64.run). I am using the below command to install
it in unattended mode.

./postgresql-9.6.6-1-linux-x64.run --installer-language en --serviceaccount
postgres --servicename postgresqld --datadir "/home/postgres/" --prefix
"/home/postgres" --superpassword 1234 --serverport 5432 --debuglevel 4
--debugtrace ./postgresql-debug.log --mode unattended

A debug log file postgresql-debug.log is created in the same directory. But
it is in some encoded format which I am not able to decode. Here is the
first few lines of the debug log.

We are trying to debug an issue with installation at client’s location and
before that we are trying to run debug mode as trial. But looks like this
cannot be understood. Before going back to client, we would like to
understand how to decode the debug log so that we could trace out the
issues at client side.

Thanks in advance and appreciate your response. Please consider this as a
high priority for us.
