[Pkg-postgresql-public] Bug#759725: postgresql-common: non-synchronous service postgresql start/stop/reload

[beuc at debian.org]

Hi,

I also got an issue today where PostgreSQL failed to load, but systemd
didn't realize it and marked the service status as "active" even
though there was no postgresql process.

This was difficult to diagnose ("service is said to be up and running,
so why can't I connect!?").

Cheers!
Sylvain
