pgbasenv does not detect installed PostgreSQL software

[markusdba]

When installing pgbasenv, the installer does not detect neither the PostgreSQL software nor the installed clusters. It fails with "flock ll: invalid file descriptor" and complains that neither pghometab nor pgclustertab can be found in the directory $TVDBASE/pgbasenv/etc

Next folder(s), timed out during scan. Exclude them or decrease scan depth or increase the timeout in pgbasenv.conf.
Root level folder(s): usr
Failed to load /var/lib/pgsql/tvdtoolbox/pgbasenv/etc/pghometab. File not exist.

Hi Markus, some questions, that we can reproduce the issue:

• What Linux distribution and version do you use?
• Do you use the PostgreSQL installation binary from the distribution or the official community RPMs from postgresql.org?
• Is SELinux in permissive or enforcing mode?

Thank you.
