Thread: Looking for pg_config for postgresql 13.16

I am looking for pg_config for postgresql 13.16 that I run under Rocky Linux 9. It seems RL appstream latest version is
pg_configin libpq-devel-13.11-1.el9.x86_64 but dnf complains:
 
installed package postgresql13-"devel-13.16-2PGDG.rhel9.x86_64 obsoletes libpq-devel <= 42.0 provided by
libpq-devel-13.11-1.el9.x86_64from appstream"
 

What is the recommended way around this?

Thanks.

I don't think the error is complaining that pg_config appears in
both packages, it's just telling you that they are marked as being
incompatible with each other.  (There might be other files that
are in both of those packages.)

The easiest fix is likely to remove the libpq-devel package, expecting
postgresql13-devel to provide whatever you needed from that.

That doesn't make sense.  /usr/pgsql-13/bin/pg_config should be in plain old postgresql13.

This is PG14, but the package structure has been the same since at least PG 9.6:

$ which pg_config
/usr/pgsql-14/bin/pg_config
