Thread: BUG #18895: Installation failure on Fedora 42 due to missing repos
The following bug has been logged on the website: Bug reference: 18895 Logged by: Hans Buschmann Email address: buschmann@nidsa.net PostgreSQL version: 17.4 Operating system: Fedora 42 Server x86-64 Description: Following the official availability of Fedora 42 on April 15 2025 I tried to upgrade some virtual machines with Fedora server x86-64. In all cases Postgres 17.4 was installed from PGDG repositories (not the builtin version) Postgres blocked the upgrade, so I removed all postgresql17* packages. The general upgrade of Fedora 41 to Fedora 42 then was successfull. Trying to install the new repo from the installation website with: sudo dnf install -y https://download.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/reporpms/F-42-x86_64/pgdg-fedora-repo-latest.noarch.rpm resulted in: Failed to download files Librepo error: Status code: 404 for https://download.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/reporpms/F-42-x86_64/pgdg-fedora-repo-latest.noarch.rpm (IP: 2a04:4e42:8e::820) I manually installed the repo from https://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/reporpms/F-42-x86_64/pgdg-fedora-repo-42.0-36PGDG.noarch.rpm But further installation gave me: [root@linux ~]# dnf list postgresql17* Updating and loading repositories: PostgreSQL common RPMs for Fedora 42 - x86_64 100% | 5.1 KiB/s | 584.0 B | 00m00s >>> Status code: 404 for https://download.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/common/fedora/fedora-42-x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml (IP: 2a04:4e42: .. etc... By looking to directory https://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/common/fedora/ ./ fedora-40-x86_64/ 14-Apr-2025 14:11 - fedora-41-x86_64/ 14-Apr-2025 14:11 - I noticed that fedora-42 is missing there. This may be the reason for the installation failure. Perhaps I am missing something else so please give me some advise... Thanks in advance Hans Buschmann

This is a packaging problem. I'll ping the pgsql-pkg-yum mailing list, where this belongs. Yours, Laurenz Albe

It takes some time to build the packages from scratch (with the stable version of the OS), verifying and syncing them. Just finished syncing. dnf system-upgrade should work. There are 2 known issues that I documented here: https://yum.postgresql.org/news/fedora-42-packages-released/ But: > > Trying to install the new repo from the installation website with: > > sudo dnf install -y > https://download.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/reporpms/F-42-x86_64/pgdg-fedora-repo-latest.noarch.rpm > > resulted in: > > Failed to download files > Librepo error: Status code: 404 for > https://download.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/reporpms/F-42-x86_64/pgdg-fedora-repo-latest.noarch.rpm > (IP: 2a04:4e42:8e::820) That is a problem indeed and we are working on fixing it. Until then you can use this direct link for now: https://download.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/reporpms/F-42-x86_64/pgdg-fedora-repo-42.0-38PGDG.noarch.rpm -HTH -- Devrim Gündüz Open Source Solution Architect, PostgreSQL Major Contributor Twitter: @DevrimGunduz , @DevrimGunduzTR
