Hi Folks,
It looks like the documented default for PostgreSQL's socket-directory
variable should be "/var/run/postgresql", when it's currently
"/var/lib/postgresql" (the data directory). I've attached a patch.
Here's the original commit (thanks lfam for the IRC help):
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/commit/?id=6c0679215f4ffa534c1eb2e8c8a6e043a0c993fe
Also noticed that since a recent reconfigure, my `psql` and `createdb`
commands now need an explicit `-h /var/run/postgresql` argument to
connect to the local database where one wasn't needed before - they look
in /tmp by default.
Regards,
Ben

That's a dumb mistake on my part, thanks for fixing it.

Yes when the socket directory is enabled in PostgreSQL those tools try
to use it but with the default directory set to "/tmp". I have pushed a
patch on core-updates to set the default socket directory to
"/var/run/postgresql" like most of the other distributions.
In the meantime you can set the "socket-directory" field of
"postgresql-config-file" to #f to restore the previous behaviour.
Thanks,
Mathieu
