Description of problem: 03_06_1980_fix_invalid_macs.sql (or 04_00_0120_fix_invalid_macs.sql in master branch) uses regexp with backreferences ('\1') in a way that is incompatible with postgresql 8 (but does work in 9). This causes all mac ranges to be converted to: \x01:\x01:\x01:\x01:\x01:\x01: - \x01:\x01:\x01:\x01:\x01:\x01: Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always I think Steps to Reproduce: 1. setup a 3.5 engine 2. upgrade to 3.6 (or master) 3. Actual results: All mac ranges will be as described above, e.g.: engine=# select * from mac_pool_ranges ; mac_pool_id | from_mac | to_mac --------------------------------------+--------------------------------+-------------------------------- 0000001c-001c-001c-001c-0000000001a2 | \x01:\x01:\x01:\x01:\x01:\x01: | \x01:\x01:\x01:\x01:\x01:\x01: Expected results: mac ranges correctly converted into mac_pool_ranges Additional info:
