Re: pg_upgrade unrecognized configuration parameter “unix_socket_directory”

Someone claims to have fixed it patching pg_upgrade:

http://dba.stackexchange.com/a/50714/6978

Quoting:

*"My solution is to rebuild the pg_upgrade from sources, with update to
file contrib/pg_upgrade/server.c:199 where pg_upgrade checks for server
version:*
* *

*199: (GET_MAJOR_VERSION(cluster->major_version) < 903) ?*

*, in my case i change it to:*

*199: (GET_MAJOR_VERSION(cluster->major_version) < 900) **?*"
