Hello 

  Thank you for your guidance. 

Our Linux Admin team said that they picked up a RHEL9 package with postgres ( I do not from where ), and this package
possiblydid not have the complete set of executables.
 

They also said that soon they will resolve the issue. 

The first two commands work , the third command  rpm -q | p package_name does not work  ( p unknown command ). 

😊 

LG

Ram

The very first thing to do is: get informed about the Linux distribution you're working on:

    cat /etc/os-release

then use the appropriate tools.

The two commands you would need (IIRC):

rpm -qa | grep -i postgres

rpm -qlp packagename
