Bug Description

pg_ctl is a command which isn't exposed by Debian/Ubuntu's postgresql-X.Y packages; the pg_ctlcluster tool wraps this. However, if users try to call it directly, they get:

$ pg_ctl
The program 'pg_ctl' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install postgres-xc

This is bad advice: It will uninstall your postgresql-X.Y packages to replace them with -xc (which isn't integrated into the postgresql-common infrastructure).

Can we please blacklist this from command-not-found? This should also be done in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.

I was speaking to Michael Vogt today and he said that this is easy to do. If you could do it for vivid I'm happy to do and test stable backports. Thanks in advance!

Hello Martin, or anyone else affected,

Accepted command-not-found into utopic-proposed. The package will build now and be available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/command-not-found/0.3ubuntu15.1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!

Utopic verification:

Confusing result with utopic final:

$ dpkg-query -W command-not-found-data
command-not-found-data 0.3ubuntu15
$ pg_ctl
The program 'pg_ctl' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install postgres-xc
$ initdb
The program 'initdb' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install postgres-xc

Expected result with SRU:

$ dpkg-query -W command-not-found-data
command-not-found-data 0.3ubuntu15.1
$ pg_ctl
pg_ctl: command not found
$ initdb
initdb: command not found
