Rt-3.2.2 on FreeBSD

I have rather weird results in trying to re-install an RT3 system (test,
without useful data yet).

I have deinstalled the old package and tried to build 3.2.2 via the FreeBSD
port.

It installs fine, but at: make post-install -DINITIAL_INSTALL DB_DBA_USER=pgsql
falls with:

Dropping Pg database rt3.
Now creating a database for RT.
Creating Pg database rt3.
Now populating database schema.
Creating database schema.
schema sucessfully inserted
Now inserting database ACLs
Now inserting RT core system objects
Checking for existing system user…not found. This appears to be a new
installation.
Creating system user…[Sat Mar 12 17:22:31 2005] [crit]: Couldn’t create a
Principal on new user create. Strange things are afoot at the circle K
(/usr/local/rt3/lib/RT/User_Overlay.pm:467)
Could not create user
*** Error code 1 (ignored)

Has anyone sees anything similar?

If you're using PGSQL, make sure your DBD::Pg is 1.32, not 1.40, which if you're using CPAN will likely require a sledgehammer.

If you’re not using PG, let us know.

Well, DBD::Pg 1.32 fixed it. Good I keep my old habbits to build packages from
source.

It seems this is bad enough of a bug, probably affecting lost of other
software.

Indeed. And Jesse notes in another thread that the DBD::Pg people have
acked it as a bug; presumably they’ll fix it shortly.
