Could you please produce either the postgresql logs and/or the output of manually running
merchant-0036.sql via the "psql" command and the respective database? That should help diagnose this quickly.

I will have to recheck how to properly reproduce, as after running taler-merchant-dbconfig (user: root) also taler-merchant-dbinit (user: taler-merchant-httpd) stays quiet; as expected, DB in place is now bigger and migration certainly went smooth as scripts using the new scheme run through (as on stage, also on the new DB scheme running taler-merchant v1.6.5):

taler-merchant-httpd@1b0bd36dc346:/usr/local/bin$ taler-merchant-httpd --version
taler-merchant-httpd v1.6.5
taler-merchant-httpd@1b0bd36dc346:/usr/local/bin$ taler-merchant-dbinit 
taler-merchant-httpd@1b0bd36dc346:/usr/local/bin$ ./check_merchant-health.sh
