Subject: pgbench in wrong package?
Date: Thu, 23 Nov 2023 21:24:07 +0100
Message-ID: <[email protected]> (raw)

pgbench is in the postgresql-client-common package [0], but the actual 
per-version binaries are in the server package, e.g., postgresql-16 [1]. 
  If you try to call pgbench without installing the server package, it 
tells you

Error: You must install at least one postgresql-client-<version> package

but that is wrong advice in this situation.

Is there are reason for this arrangement?

(The same confusion applies to vacuumlo.)
