8.2.3 initdb fails - invalid value for parameter "timezone_abbreviations": "Default"

Hello!

I've just tried to initdb a fresh install of PostgreSQL 8.3.2 on Debian
Etch (testing). My configure settings were
./configure --prefix=/opt/pgsql --datadir=/var/lib/pgsql/data/base
--enable-locale --with-perl --enable-odbc --with-java

This is what happens:

postgres(at)etchvm:~$ /opt/pgsql/bin/initdb -D -locale=de_DE.UTF-8
/var/lib/pgsql/data/
initdb: file "/var/lib/pgsql/data/base/postgres.bki" does not exist
This means you have a corrupted installation or identified
the wrong directory with the invocation option -L.

So I use the -L switch and try again:

postgres(at)etchvm:~$ /opt/pgsql/bin/initdb -D -locale=de_DE.UTF-8
/var/lib/pgsql/data/base -L /var/lib/pgsql/data/input/
The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user
"postgres".
This user must also own the server process.

The database cluster will be initialized with locale de_DE.UTF-8.
The default database encoding has accordingly been set to UTF8.

LC_time is set to de_DE, LC_ALL is set to de_DE.UTF-8.

Does anybody have an idea what's going wrong here?

Kind regards
