libpq5 error
Good afternoon,
I have got a rocky 9.4 VM running psql (PostgreSQL) 15.8 version and
recently unable to patc h the host due to a version mismatch of libpq5
package.
The updates get stuck when trying to install the following packages:
libpq5 x86_64
17.0-42PGDG.rhel9
pgdg-common 352 k
pgdg-redhat-repo noarch
42.0-46PGDG
pgdg-common 12 k
If I disable the pg repo file in /etc/yum.repos.d they are omitted. Is
there a fix to this issue?
Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.
Kind regards,
Paul

The above is somewhat confusing to me. You say that Postgres is running
in a VM, but then say you are patching the host. To me that implies
patching the host machine that the VM is being run on. Please explain
this is more detail.
The updates get stuck when trying to install the following packages:
Is this an update to an existing install that came from the PGDG repo?
What is the complete error message you get?

Ccing list.
Hi Adrian,
Thank you for your quick response,
I'm guessing(because I don't use RH and variants) that the below is
related to:
https://yum.postgresql.org/news/rocky-9-8-llvm-repo-is-available/
In particular this part:
"Rocky Linux and AlmaLinux, which lags slightly behind RHEL, is also
significantly affected by this breakage, blocking PostgreSQL minor
updates. This is the problem that needs to be solved."
Hopefully, someone who is more knowledge about this can confirm.
Yes, the postgres(version 15.8) instance is running on a rocky 9.4 VM
which when trying to patch.
When running dnf update the below 2 packages get pushed through the
system updates:pgdg-redhat-repo noarch
42.0-46PGDG
pgdg-common 12 k
libpq5 x86_64
17.0-42PGDG.rhel9
pgdg-common 352 kAnd these packages stop the update of the host with the following error:
Unknown Error occurred: Transaction test error:\n file
/usr/share/pgsql/postgres.bki from install of
libpq5-17.0-42PGDG.rhel9.x86_64 conflicts with file from package
postgresql-server-15.8-1.module+el9.4.0+25512+c6b50a48.x86_64\n file
/usr/share/pgsql/system_constraints.sql from install of
libpq5-17.0-42PGDG.rhel9.x86_64 conflicts with file from package
postgresql-server-15.8-1.module+el9.4.0+25512+c6b50a48.x86_64\n.Apologies for the bad description in the initial message but I did not
find the error that was getting.
Hope this makes more sense.Kind Regards,

Packager speaking: It means libpq5 is built using PostgreSQL 17.0 and it
is backwards compatible with PostgreSQL 15. So it is ok to install it.

Good morning,
Really appreciate the assistance with this.
I will apply the changes later on today.

Ah ok. So basically it means PostgreSQL is installed from Red Hat
packages, not PGDG. I would suggest you either not to use PGDG repos at
all for consistency, or switch to PGDG repo and use our packages as a
whole.
...or you can edit /etc/yum.repos.d/pgdg-redhat-all.repo file, and add
exclude=libpq5
under the [pgdg-common] section so that dnf will ignore that.

Good morning Devrim,
Is libpq5 an important component that needs the upgrade?
I am wanting to try after Adrian's suggestion yesterday to see if I can
update the repo file first of all since it came with the rest of the
updates.
If that does not solve it, I would consider disabling the package.

From here:
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/libpq.html
"libpq is the C application programmer's interface to PostgreSQL. libpq
is a set of library functions that allow client programs to pass queries
to the PostgreSQL backend server and to receive the results of these
queries.
libpq is also the underlying engine for several other PostgreSQL
application interfaces, including those written for C++, Perl, Python,
Tcl and ECPG. So some aspects of libpq's behavior will be important to
you if you use one of those packages. In particular, Section 32.15,
Section 32.16 and Section 32.19 describe behavior that is visible to the
user of any application that uses libpq."
To me that is, yes it is important.

Hi guys,
I've just retried patching the host as we speak with no luck, I am getting
the exact same thing.
Following Devrim's guidance i've manually upgraded the repo file that came
down via dnf and still getting the mismatch error:

Right, I was thinking that I would be able to get away with updating the
repo file and fixing the issue that way.
I've just checked the packages with dnf whatprovides postrgres and indeed
everything is coming down from Red Hat repos:
postgresql-15.8-1.module+el9.4.0+25512+c6b50a48.x86_64 : PostgreSQL client
programs
Repo : @System
postgresql-15.8-1.module+el9.4.0+25512+c6b50a48.x86_64 : PostgreSQL client
programs
Repo : appstream
If I were to move in getting the packages just from pgdg we need just the
[pgdg-common] block?
