Subject: BUG #18895: Installation failure on Fedora 42 due to missing repos
Date: Wed, 16 Apr 2025 08:59:35 +0000
Message-ID: <18895-a1f441faffb1b7ba@postgresql.org> (raw)
The following bug has been logged on the website:
Bug reference: 18895
Logged by: Hans Buschmann
Email address: buschmann@nidsa.net
PostgreSQL version: 17.4
Operating system: Fedora 42 Server x86-64
Description:
Following the official availability of Fedora 42 on April 15 2025 I tried to
upgrade some virtual machines with Fedora server x86-64.
In all cases Postgres 17.4 was installed from PGDG repositories (not the
builtin version)
Postgres blocked the upgrade, so I removed all postgresql17* packages. The
general upgrade of Fedora 41 to Fedora 42 then was successfull.
Trying to install the new repo from the installation website with:
sudo dnf install -y
https://download.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/reporpms/F-42-x86_64/pgdg-fedora-repo-latest.noarch.rp...
resulted in:
Failed to download files
Librepo error: Status code: 404 for
https://download.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/reporpms/F-42-x86_64/pgdg-fedora-repo-latest.noarch.rp...
(IP: 2a04:4e42:8e::820)
I manually installed the repo from
https://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/reporpms/F-42-x86_64/pgdg-fedora-repo-42.0-36PGDG.noarch.rp...
But further installation gave me:
[root@linux ~]# dnf list postgresql17*
Updating and loading repositories:

.. etc...
By looking to directory
https://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/common/fedora/
./

fedora-41-x86_64/ 14-Apr-2025 14:11
-
I noticed that fedora-42 is missing there.
This may be the reason for the installation failure.
Perhaps I am missing something else so please give me some advise...
Thanks in advance
Hans Buschmann
