Help! The above documentation seems to be incorrect.
If I try to connect to Template0:
psql: FATAL 1: Database "template0" is not currently accepting
connections
If I try to drop template1 from psql:
ERROR: DROP DATABASE: database is marked as a template
If I try "dropdb template1":
ERROR: DROP DATABASE: cannot be executed on the currently open
database
dropdb: database removal failed
Trying to remove template1 to restore it using an undamaged template0
seems to be a catch-22 with no way out. Help!
