Thread: using pgdg repo
I have installed pgdg-centos-8.3-5.noarch.rpm Using that repo I installed compat-postgresql-libs-4-1PGDG.rhel5 postgresql-server-8.3.5-2PGDG.rhel5 postgresql-contrib-8.3.5-2PGDG.rhel5 postgresql-docs-8.3.5-2PGDG.rhel5 postgresql-libs-8.3.5-2PGDG.rhel5 postgresql-8.3.5-2PGDG.rhel5 postgresql-pltcl-8.3.5-2PGDG.rhel5 postgresql-jdbc-8.3.604-1PGDG.rhel5 Now I want to update to PostgreSQL 8.3.6 which i believe is available in the pgdg repo # yum update postgresql Loading "fastestmirror" plugin Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * pgdg83: yum.pgsqlrpms.org * rpmforge: apt.sw.be * base: mirror.skiplink.com * updates: repo.genomics.upenn.edu * addons: mirror.newnanutilities.org * extras: ftp.usf.edu Excluding Packages in global exclude list Finished Setting up Update Process Could not find update match for postgresql No Packages marked for Update What is the prescribed method to perform this update? If this is not the proper list for this question please point me to a better resource. Thanks Richard

Maybe some other repo than pgdg3 has higher priority for postgresql, and yum then won't upgrade postgresql because it already has newer version than for example base/updates? try leaving only pgdg83.repo in /etc/yum.repos.d/ and moving all others somewhere temporary, and then add back one repo at a time, and you'll notice when stuff breaks. I have one cluster which wants to upgrade from 8.3.4 to 8.3.6, but I am not allowed to do it because of possible downtime/problems... And it bugs me almost a few months now, so I don't know what your problem can be, but the repos seem fine :( -- | Jakov Sosic | ICQ: 28410271 | PGP: 0x965CAE2D | ================================================================= | start fighting cancer -> http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/ |
