Description:
postgresql-libs install script creates user "postgres" with a home directory set to "/var/lib/postgres".
However, this folder does not exist.

Additional info:
* tested with :
o postgresql-libs 9.0.4-1 x86_64
o postgresql-libs 9.0.4-2 x86_64

Steps to reproduce:
$ sudo pacman -S postgresql-libs
<snip>
$ sudo pwck -r
user 'postgres': directory '/var/lib/postgres' does not exist
pwck: no changes
$

Note : the postgresql package should be subject to the same bug, as it provides the same install script.
This task depends upon
