Description of problem:

Attempting to do an install of ovirt-engine 3.2 alpha I encountered an error "failed dropping user engine" in engine-setup.

Running engine-cleanup to try again results in "Error: Couldn't connect to the database server.Check that connection is working and rerun the cleanup utility". When I try to connect using "psql -h localhost -p 5432 -U engine" I receive the message "psql: FATAL: database "engine" is not currently accepting connections".

It's not really clear to me what is going on here, I haven't manually interfered with the database at all (though previous engine-setup runs may have created it, but cleanup doesn't work either...) and this is a clean F18 Beta installation.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

ovirt-engine-setup-3.2.0-1.20121212.git01e08b2.fc18
