PostgreSQL's createdb fails
---------------------------
When the PostgreSQL cluster uses a non-UTF8 encoding, the
:file:`create_template_postgis-*.sh` script will fail when executing
``createdb``::
createdb: database creation failed: ERROR: new encoding (UTF8) is incompatible
with the encoding of the template database (SQL_ASCII)
The `current workaround`__ is to re-create the cluster using UTF8 (back up any
databases before dropping the cluster).
