Bug description:
  [Impact]

  When installing postgresql, many warning msgs are raised
  Please refer to Original Description

  ## Corrections
  In trusty, escaping is missing but not the same symptome. NOT AFFECTED TO TRUSTY

  [Test Case]

  1. create ubuntu instance
  2. apt install postgresql

  [Regression Potentials]
  This change is quite small(just escaping), and it is not code changes but getenv script which made by debian. so risk is minimal in my opinion.

  [Original Description]

  When installing postgresql on Ubuntu 16.04 (xenial), the following
  warning are raised:

  This is due to the fact that unescaped brace are deprecated in Perl
  5.22.
