Re: COLLATION update in 13.1

Thanks for your hint, Jeremy. But this does not work either:

postgres=# SELECT collname, collversion FROM pg_collation where collname =
'de_DE.utf8';
collname | collversion
------------+-------------
de_DE.utf8 | 2.38
(1 row)

postgres=# ALTER COLLATION de_DE.utf8 REFRESH VERSION;
ERROR: schema "de_de" does not exist

What do I wrong?
