Hi,

pgpool2 has a flaky autopkgtest on amd64:

s 2026-08-18 17:54:37.106: main pid 7943: FATAL:  Failed to open lock file for query cache "/var/log/postgresql/memq_lock_file"

171s Prepare environment
171s psql: error: connection to server at "localhost" (::1), port 9999 failed: Connection refused
171s 	Is the server running on that host and accepting TCP/IP connections?


Full log is at https://ci.debian.net/packages/p/pgpool2/testing/amd64/74429408/

The CI page shows this has been occasionally flaky:
https://ci.debian.net/packages/p/pgpool2/testing/amd64/


This blocks seedfile from testing migration.

best,
