Not at all. It is just that due the earlier error the initialisation of 
the database halted halfway through. To fix this I suggest you do:

$ sudo kforge-admin --config=/home/toto/kforge.conf db rebuild

This will first drop your database, then create it and then initialise it.

(warning: this will require the kforge user you created earlier to have 
permissions to drop and create databases. If this is not the case -- for 
example only your postgres user can do this then you will have to log in 
as that user to drop and then create the database. After than just rerun 
the init command).
