Subject: upgrade from 18beta1 to 18beta3 gives : FATAL: database files are incompatible with server
Date: Wed, 20 Aug 2025 10:25:08 +0100
Message-ID: <[email protected]> (raw)

Hi for the sake of answering here : 
https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/48a32f45-57f2-4560-ae94-3488b3568c8a%40cloud.gatewaynet.com 
(although I didn't find anything indicating any hope for any change 
regarding my deadlock), it seems I am unable to binary upgrade from 
18beta1 to 18beta3 the traditional easy way between minor releases. 
After : make install , it gives

postgres@smadevnu:~ % pg_ctl -D data restart
waiting for server to shut down...... done
server stopped

looks like you need to initdb.

Examine the log output.

Is the catalog version indeed different between 18beta1 and 18beta3 ?
