Quassel IRC

I've got it running without the migration. I spent quite a bit of time on it and the errors I'm seeing tend to make me think that they're related to a compatibility issue with the version of postgresql and the script because they appear [to me] to be sql syntax errors.

$ quasselcore --version; psql --version; neofetch --fastfetch=off
quassel v0.15-pre (unknown revision)
psql (PostgreSQL) 16.4 (Ubuntu 16.4-1)

Rhino Linux rolling release based on

This is what the errors look like when I captured them at the start of trying to fix it and while I would not swear in the name of the Flying Spaghetti Monster that the errors were exactly the same the second snippet I was able to find [2×below] sure looks mostly alike... just hours later
