can not restart posgresql after dist-upgrade - debian

[viraj <kalinga(at)gmail(dot)com>]

hi all,
i'm running postgresql-7.4 on a debian etch box. postgresql was
working fine before the dist upgrade (it was sarge).

now, when i restart the service it says..

viraj:/var/log/postgresql# pg_ctlcluster 7.4 main reload
Insecure directory in $ENV{PATH} while running with -T switch at
/usr/bin/pg_ctlcluster line 384.

i didn't change permission of postgresql directories. and the
configuration files are untouched. can somebody shed some light on
this?


thank you
