Markus,

   So close ... but not fully there yet.

   Running /usr/local/bin/refdb-init.sh as a user (me), it ran well until the
last step (or two). I was asked several times for the postgres superuser's
password (which I dutifully entered each time), then saw this:

I've finished collecting all required information, and the checks look ok.
If you don't want to touch your existing installation, answer with 'n'.
Shall I proceed and set up RefDB [y/n]?

sed: invalid option -- E
Usage: sed [OPTION]... {script-only-if-no-other-script} [input-file]...

   -n, --quiet, --silent
                  suppress automatic printing of pattern space
   -e script, --expression=script
                  add the script to the commands to be executed
   -f script-file, --file=script-file
                  add the contents of script-file to the commands to be
executed
   -i[suffix], --in-place[=suffix]
                  edit files in place (makes backup if extension supplied)
   -l N, --line-length=N
                  specify the desired line-wrap length for the ' command
   -r, --regexp-extended
                  use extended regular expressions in the script.
   -s, --separate
                  consider files as separate rather than as a single
continuous
                  long stream.
   -u, --unbuffered
                  load minimal amounts of data from the input files and flush
                  the output buffers more often
       --help     display this help and exit
   -V, --version  output version information and exit

If no -e, --expression, -f, or --file option is given, then the first
non-option argument is taken as the sed script to interpret.  All
remaining arguments are names of input files; if no input files are
specified, then the standard input is read.

cp: cannot create regular file /usr/local/etc/refdb/refdbdrc.': Permission
denied

Could not backup existing refdbd configuration file

refdbd-init.sh failed.
refdb-init.sh is finished.

   Running as a mere user, I have no write permissions to /usr/local/etc/.
That's why refdbdrc could not be created. Root has such write permissions,
but I don't want to create the working bibliographic database under root's
account.

Many thanks, Markus,

Rich
