Bug reference: 18895
Logged by: Hans Buschmann
Email address: buschmann(at)nidsa(dot)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.rpm

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.rpm
(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.rpm

But further installation gave me:
[root(at)linux ~]# dnf list postgresql17*
Updating and loading repositories:

.. etc...

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

./
fedora-40-x86_64/ 14-Apr-2025 14:11
-
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
