Fwd: Bug#224716: postgresql-client: createuser fails

Hi PostgreSQL developers!

I'm comaintainer of the Debian package of postgresql (CC to its
maintainer) and just fixed the bug report below (see
http://bugs.debian.org/224716 for the whole thread):

(#:~)- createuser -E -U postgres -W nagios
Shall the new user be allowed to create databases? (y/n) n
Shall the new user be allowed to create more new users? (y/n) n
Password:
ERROR: parser: parse error at or near "NOCREATEDB" at character 61
createuser: creation of user "nagios" failed

it fails if i include the -E (encrypt password) option, otherwise it
works as expected, if i do not include the -E option.

----- End forwarded message -----

The problem is that createuser.c builds a wrong SQL string if just the
'-E' option without '-P' is given. This results in an SQL string like

CREATE USER ... ENCRYPTED NOCREATEDB

although it should read '... ENCRYPTED PASSWORD 'blabla' NOCREATEDB'

The attached patch fixes this by just ignoring -E when -P is not
given. The patch should work against your current CVS; it is already
included in the Debian package CVS.

Thanks and have a nice day!
