chroot build method: postgis fails to create databases

[kalxas]

as per ​http://aiolos.survey.ntua.gr/gisvm/dev/osgeo-live-mini-build8731-log.tar.gz

Processing triggers for menu ...

I am puzzled by the locale theory to explain this new failure.. As an experiment, I installed a new XUbuntu 12.04 into a VM, then asked for locale

reuse@osgeolive-base:~/gisvm/bin$ locale
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=en_US:en
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

and here is the results on a fresh base after init,

reuse@osgeolive-base:~/gisvm/bin$ sudo -u postgres createuser --superuser $USER_NAME
reuse@osgeolive-base:~/gisvm/bin$ psql
psql: FATAL:  database "reuse" does not exist
reuse@osgeolive-base:~/gisvm/bin$ psql postgres
psql (9.1.4)
Type "help" for help.
