Bug reference: 16142
Logged by: Michael Lotter
Email address: michael.jlotter@gmail.com
PostgreSQL version: 12.0
Operating system: Kali Linux
Description:

I try to initiate PostgreSQL
when I do this, it shows it is all good until the end and says host is
down.
How is that fixed?
it shows
version: cluster: port: status: etc.

Port is correct status shows down.

When I go to initialise PostgreSQL, it goes no further.

Ver Cluster Port Status Owner Data directory Log file
12 main 5432 down postgres /var/lib/postgresql/12/main
/var/log/postgresql/postgresql-12-main.log
update-alternatives: using /usr/share/postgresql/12/man/man1/postmaster.1.gz
to provide /usr/share/man/man1/postmaster.1.gz (postmaster.1.gz) in auto
mode
invoke-rc.d: could not determine current runlevel

Not sure which packages you're using, but my guess is this suggests a
packaging issue.
