Hi all,

Apologies if this is not the correct list - since packagers- is a closed
list, this seemed like the next best place to bring this up.

A coworker just tried downloading the PostgreSQL 9.6 "Amazon Linux AMI
2015.03 - x86_64" package from the RPM download page [0] using Google
Chrome.

The download fails, with a note that the file is malicious. This is
described on [1] as "Malicious: You tried downloading malware.".

This same error appears to happen for all 9.X RPM packages, 8.X is fine.
Other browsers don't seem to mind, and download the file just fine.

Anybody know whats going on?

For what its worth, I think this is a false positive on Google's end - but
figured somebody might know how to have them correct it.

Best,
