>Description:
PostgreSQL >= 8.3 seems to have renamed the charsetencoding UNICODE to UTF8. This is not reflected by the actual port of libdbi-drivers, but there are actually patches made by M. Hoenicka residing at sourceforge.
Using PostgreSQL >= 8.3 in combination with ports/textproc/refdb (which has libdbi-drivers as dependency) results in a non-operating refdb-system since the refdbd doens't know how to handle 'UTF-8', which needs to be mapped as 'UTF8' by the libdbi-driver/pgsql.
The patch is simple, I added a line in drivers/pgsql/dbd_pgsql.c. Maybe the maintainer would please have a look on the several fixes that already have been made by the development crew including this one I mention made by M. Hoenicka (he solved this issue while we have had personal communication).
>How-To-Repeat:
Build textproc/refdb with databases.postgresql8[34]-server|client with actual databases/libdbi-drivers. Then fill up the refdb-tables in PostgrSQL with the testdata and try to retrieve references with 'getref'. This will never succeed until you patch libdbi-drivers as mentioned.
>Fix:
Apply appended patch.
