That's expected. But I could connect manually.

First it was:
\connect template1

Noticing it was not like the statements further down in the file, I changed
it to:
\connect template1 postgres

It dies with:
psql: FATAL 1: Database "postgres" does not exist in the system catalog.

Same error message in both cases.
