Description: 
 postgresql-8.3 - object-relational SQL database, version 8.3 server
Closes: 358546 469180 470935
Changes: 
 postgresql-8.3 (8.3.1-1) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * New upstream bugfix release:
     - Repair corner-case bugs in "VACUUM FULL".
     - Fix misbehavior of foreign key checks involving character or bit
       columns.
     - Avoid needless deadlock failures in no-op foreign-key checks.
     - Fix possible core dump when re-planning a prepared query.
     - Fix possible failure when re-planning a query that calls an
       SPI-using function.
     - Fix failure in row-wise comparisons involving columns of different
       datatypes.
     - Fix longstanding "LISTEN"/"NOTIFY" race condition.
     - Disallow "LISTEN" and "UNLISTEN" within a prepared transaction
       This was formerly allowed but trying to do it had various
       unpleasant consequences, notably that the originating backend could
       not exit as long as an "UNLISTEN" remained uncommitted.
     - Disallow dropping a temporary table within a prepared transaction
       This was correctly disallowed by 8.1, but the check was
       inadvertently broken in 8.2 and 8.3.
     - Fix rare crash when an error occurs during a query using a hash
       index.
     - Fix incorrect comparison of tsquery values.
     - Fix incorrect behavior of LIKE with non-ASCII characters in
       single-byte encodings. (Closes: #469180)
     - Disable xmlvalidate. This function should have been removed before 8.3
       release, but was inadvertently left in the source code. It poses a small
       security risk since unprivileged users could use it to read the first
       few characters of any file accessible to the server.
     - Fix memory leaks in certain usages of set-returning functions.
     - Make encode(bytea, 'escape') convert all high-bit-set byte values
       into \"nnn" octal escape sequences.
       This is necessary to avoid encoding problems when the database
       encoding is multi-byte. This change could pose compatibility issues
       for applications that are expecting specific results from encode.
     - Fix input of datetime values for February 29 in years BC.
       The former coding was mistaken about which years were leap years.
     . Fix "unrecognized node type" error in some variants of "ALTER
       OWNER".
     - Avoid tablespace permissions errors in "CREATE TABLE LIKE INCLUDING
       INDEXES".
     - Ensure pg_stat_activity.waiting flag is cleared when a lock wait is
       aborted.
     - Fix ecpg problems with arrays.
     - Fix pg_ctl to correctly extract the postmaster's port number from
       command-line options. Previously, pg_ctl start -w could try to contact
       the postmaster on the wrong port, leading to bogus reports of startup
       failure. (Closes: #358546)
     - Use "-fwrapv" to defend against possible misoptimization in recent
       gcc versions (4.3 and later).
   * debian/postgresql-8.3.init:
     - Remove erroneous 'S' from Should-Stop.
     - Require $remote_fs for startup, since postgresql needs /usr.
     - Thanks to Petter Reinholdtsen!
     - (Closes: #470935)
