on the very first try to install this package i got a pop-up screen asking if i wanted to download the world data and plug
it into postgres I mistakenly hit yes then aborted with ctrl-c (i already have the data from openstreetmap and did not want
to wait
days to redo it )
upon trying to dpkg-reconfigure openstreetmap-carto i get the error.... psycopg2.OperationalError: connection to server on
socket "/var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5432" failed: FATAL: role "root" does not exist
which is understandable and proper .. i.e. i am not postgres the trouble is *** there is no going back to that initial
screen "asking if i wanted to download the world map into postgres " ***
to make a short story long .. even after deleting/purging wiping out everything in /var/lib/dpkg/info/openstreetmap*
and trying to install again i never get that initial screen to bypass the download process ( which i think is the only real
bug ) so a couple of thoughts
1- the package needs to start from the very beginning on a reconfigure i.e the user needs to be able choose to by-pass the
download and database import (which SHOULD get rid of the role error which i assume you sudo into user postgres to
accomplish or somesuch)
2- the package needs to clean up whatever flag/files is uses to show that initial screen in apt/dpkg because once you use
it, it never comes back even after a (near apparently) total wipe of the package apt-get remove apt-get purge, etc.. do not
get it back ...
any help on actually getting back to the initial screen would be appreciated i have no clue why apt is by-passing that very
first step shown to the user but at this point i have a broken package. Going to try find some stuff in ~ see if i can get
back to the basics ...
