Re: 1 test fails in make installcheck-world - database "regress_ecpg_user2" does not exist

Thanks, that makes sense. However, when I go into my database
with psql and type `drop database regress_ecpg_user2;`, the
response is "ERROR: database "regress_ecpg_user2" does not exist".
So it seems either the tests are creating it somehow and then cleaning
it up (though I agree that I found no obvious evidence of that in the
codebase), or could I be looking in the wrong postgres install?

I think it's the same install though. I have my postgres installing into an
install_dir/ directory. Here's how I run configure:

#!/bin/sh
CFLAGS='-O0' ./configure \
--prefix=path/to/postgres/install_dir/ \
--with-uuid=e2fs \
--enable-debug \
--with-perl

I did notice that the test seems to create a ROLE called regress_ecpg_user2:

$ git grep -n 'regress_ecpg_user2'
src/interfaces/ecpg/test/Makefile:78:REGRESS_OPTS =
--dbname=ecpg1_regression,ecpg2_regression
--create-role=regress_ecpg_user1,regress_ecpg_user2 $(EXTRA_REGRESS_OPTS)
...

Could that implicitly create a database too? I know that I somehow have a
database named after my username / postgres role "murftown".

I ran "make installcheck-world" again, and, the result is different this
time -
a test called "misc_sanity" failed early on in the tests:

$ make installcheck-world
make -C src/test installcheck
make -C perl installcheck
make[2]: Nothing to be done for `installcheck'.
make -C regress installcheck

The old failure with the missing error message is gone from
regression.diffs this time.
I've attached the new regression.diffs.
