Re: installation not working for Ubuntu 21.10 impish - Mailing list pgadmin-support

Hi Dave,
Appreciate the quick response!
Definitely have Impish...

garrett@garrett-external:/etc$ lsb_release -cd
Description: Ubuntu 21.10
Codename: impish

garrett@garrett-external:/etc$ lsb_release -cs
impish

But for some reason I don't have  the os-release directory:

garrett@garrett-external:/etc$ cd /etc/os-release

bash: cd: /etc/os-release: Not a directory

I think what probably happened is when I was initially stuck, and trying to run pgadmin4 from the terminal, not seeing anything happen, and thinking it was not fully installed when it was, I started monkeying around with the urls in /etc/apt/sources.list.d to try uninstalling and reinstalling past releases, following a bit too blindly things I found searching online...

garrett@garrett-external:/etc/apt/sources.list.d$ ls
deadsnakes-ubuntu-ppa-impish.list  pgadmin4.list.save  pgdg.list.save
pgadmin4.list                      pgdg.list

Looking at pgadmin4.list.save , I see I had at least tried to use hirsute 's repo:

garrett@garrett-external:/etc/apt/sources.list.d$ cat pgadmin4.list.save
    deb https://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/pgadmin/pgadmin4/apt/hirsute pgadmin4 main

I'm thinking this is overriding the correct impish repos, so I'll try deleting that file, purging the installation and re-installing:

garrett@garrett-external:/etc/apt/sources.list.d$ ls
    deadsnakes-ubuntu-ppa-impish.list  pgadmin4.list  pgadmin4.list.save  pgdg.list  pgdg.list.save
garrett@garrett-external:/etc/apt/sources.list.d$ sudo rm pgadmin4.list.save

double check that the pgadmin4 sources are correct...

garrett@garrett-external:/etc/apt/sources.list.d$ ls
    deadsnakes-ubuntu-ppa-impish.list  pgadmin4.list  pgdg.list  pgdg.list.save

garrett@garrett-external:/etc/apt/sources.list.d$ cat pgadmin4.list
  deb https://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/pgadmin/pgadmin4/apt/focal pgadmin4 main

^ok definitely the problem...should fix that....

garrett@garrett-external:/etc/apt/sources.list.d$ sudo sed -i 's/focal/impish/g' ./pgadmin4.list
garrett@garrett-external:/etc/apt/sources.list.d$ cat ./pgadmin4.list
  deb https://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/pgadmin/pgadmin4/apt/impish pgadmin4 main

uninstall pgadmin4

garrett@garrett-external:/etc/apt/sources.list.d$ sudo apt purge pgadmin4

garrett@garrett-external:/etc/apt/sources.list.d$ sudo apt autoremove

reinstall pgadmin4
garrett@garrett-external:/etc/apt/sources.list.d$ sudo apt update && sudo apt install pgadmin4

And now it works fine

So you were right, apologies for the self inflicted goose chase -- but definitely learned a lot in the process!
