You seem to have a very bizarre setup there --- there is no such thing
as "readpgenv" in the standard Postgres distribution, and
/usr/lib/postgresql/bin/ isn't the standard place to put the executable
files either. Perhaps the above is normal for the Debian package of
Postgres, but I'm afraid you'll have to ask the Debian packager for
help. Nobody using other platforms is likely to be able to help...
