Subject: PGDG16 repository error - repomd.xml.asc is empty
Date: Mon, 4 Aug 2025 17:01:00 +0200
Message-ID: <CAODqTUYYjv_JeqRergOburRKtRQXSL_V-eD0vLH1FwnzXsnuSA@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Hello,
I've found that PGDG16 repository access is failing (while last Thursday it
worked):
Example - pgdg 17 works, pgdg16 doesn't work:
$ yum repolist pgdg16 pgdg17
repo id repo name
status
pgdg16 PostgreSQL 16 for RHEL / Rocky / AlmaLinux 9 - x86_64
enabled
pgdg17 PostgreSQL 17 for RHEL / Rocky / AlmaLinux 9 - x86_64
enabled
$ yum -y --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=pgdg17 info postgresql17

Summary : PostgreSQL client programs and libraries

License : PostgreSQL
Description : PostgreSQL is an advanced Object-Relational database
management system (DBMS).
: The base postgresql package contains the client programs
that you'll need to
: access a PostgreSQL DBMS server. These client programs can
be located on the
: same machine as the PostgreSQL server, or on a remote
machine that accesses a
: PostgreSQL server over a network connection. The PostgreSQL
server can be found
: in the postgresql17-server sub-package.
:
: If you want to manipulate a PostgreSQL database on a local
or remote PostgreSQL
: server, you need this package. You also need to install this
package
: if you're installing the postgresql17-server package.

The only workaround I've found is to set repo_gpgcheck = 0
in /etc/yum.repos.d/pgdg-redhat-all.repo for pgdg16.
Thanks for fixing or providing advice on how to securely handle this issue.
Kind regards Ales Zeleny
