Re: Binaries for EOL version?

The packages you need are definitely on the postgresql yum server. The
repository can not be browsed, but if you add the yum repository
definition file as documented at the bottom of the page
https://yum.postgresql.org/repopackages/#pgredhatoldrepos

you will be able to do a "yum install amcheck_next96" easily.

cat << EOF > /etc/yum.repos.d/pgdg-96.repo
[pgdg96]
name=PostgreSQL 9.6 RPMs for RHEL/CentOS 6
baseurl=https://yum-archive.postgresql.org/9.6/redhat/rhel-6-x86_64
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-PGDG
