Hi,

I have the same issue. It was working fine a month ago. I wrote a
cookbook with chef to install BDR a month ago since then I did not
change the cookbook but now I got this error.

This seem to be the heart of the issue:

Removing obsolete dictionary files:
==> ldev4: * No PostgreSQL clusters exist; see "man pg_createcluster"
==> ldev4: /usr/share/postgresql-common/maintscripts-functions: line
95: db_stop: command not found
==> ldev4: dpkg: error processing package postgresql-bdr-9.4
(--configure):
==> ldev4: subprocess installed post-installation script returned
error exit status 127

Anyone know what's going on ? I'm going to investigate.

The debconf source file is missing.
db_stop, stands for debconf stop.

It is supposed to be fixed but it is not.
See this closed issue on Github:
https://github.com/2ndQuadrant/bdr/issues/156

I "fixed" it in ansible by

- installing bdr accepting the fail
- removing the db_stop line
- installing bdr again.

This is the relevant part of my ansible configuration:

- name: install postgresql bdr
apt:
name=postgresql-bdr-9.4-bdr-plugin
state=present
ignore_errors: yes

- name: remove db_stop from postgres postinstall script
lineinfile:
dest=/usr/share/postgresql-common/maintscripts-functions
regexp=db_stop
state=absent

- name: reinstall postgresql bdr to mitigate the db_stop problem
apt:
name=postgresql-bdr-9.4-bdr-plugin
state=present

Regards,

Roland
