The invalid page would not affect normal index operations, but it

might cause failures in subsequent VACUUMs. If that has happened to
243+
one of your indexes, recover by reindexing the index.

Separately, prefer <literal>UTC</literal> over other spellings of

that time zone, when neither <envar>TZ</envar>

379+
an annoyance introduced by <application>tzdata</application> 2019a's
380+
change to make the <literal>UCT</literal> and <literal>UTC</literal>
381+
zone names equivalent: <application>initdb</application> was then
382+
preferring <literal>UCT</literal>, which almost nobody wants.
