Bug Description
In calendarserver 5.3 on Ubuntu 14.10, the launch script does not properly launch the server using the default configuration files and the init.d script. This is because calendarserver spawns a child postgreSQL server by default. However, the server expects the binaries located in /usr/lib/
An easy solution is to edit the calendarserver init script and add the appropriate directory to the path. (See attached init script for the modification). However, my attachment should not be considered a patch as the path is postgreSQL version specific. A more clever programmer could add a few lines to the init script to determine the path, then add it.

Ironically, I just realized that calendarserver does not depend on the postgreSQL, though it should be, or at least, postgresql should be a recommended package.
