can't install pg 12 beta on centos 6

[Kevin Brannen <KBrannen@xxxxxxxx>]

I thought I’d get a jump on testing this since we’re a little slow sometimes. 😊

 

I’ve spun up a new VM with Centos 6.10 (the latest). I found https://yum.postgresql.org/testing/12/redhat/rhel-6-x86_64/repoview/ to get the packages (BTW, that was kind of hard to find). I ended up with:

 

postgresql12-12beta4-1PGDG.rhel6.x86_64.rpm

postgresql12-contrib-12beta4-1PGDG.rhel6.x86_64.rpm

postgresql12-libs-12beta4-1PGDG.rhel6.x86_64.rpm

postgresql12-plperl-12beta4-1PGDG.rhel6.x86_64.rpm

postgresql12-server-12beta4-1PGDG.rhel6.x86_64.rpm

 

Then I did an “rpm -ivh *” and found I was missing a few things. I downloaded and installed most of what was missing, but I’ve got 2 dependencies that I can’t resolve.

 

error: Failed dependencies:

        python2-libs is needed by postgresql12-12beta4-1PGDG.rhel6.x86_64

        openssl-libs >= 1.0.2k is needed by postgresql12-libs-12beta4-1PGDG.rhel6.x86_64

 

Openssl is at “1.0.1e” from CentOS. So where does this “1.0.2k” come from?

 

Centos 6.10 has nothing called python2-libs, though I do have:

 

$ rpm -qa | grep python | grep libs

python-libs-2.6.6-66.el6_8.x86_64

 

It *feels* like the packager of the PG rpms took a dependency list from RH 7.x and gave it to RH 6.x.

 

Since this is only a test on my part, I wanted to use the community packages instead of building from source. Am I going to have to build from source at this point in the game until we get to at least the RC’s?

 

Thanks,

Kevin
