Hi,
sorry, forgot to mention two things (see below)

But we have many more database clusters and a bunch of them uses plpython, so I definitely need it. To better be safe than sorry, I want the issue resolved before migrations start, even for database clusters which don't need it.
the two things I forgot to mention are:
a) the versions I will be upgrading from are 11.9 and 12.4. The above thing happens with 12.4. Since I didn't check 11.9 yet, I cannot say if it appears there too.
b) the 12.4 software also does not have plpython2 files in its lib64 directory. Both only have plpython3.so:
$ ll /data/postgres/*/lib64/plpython*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 postgres dba 151672 Aug 13 16:28 /data/postgres/12.4/lib64/plpython3.so
-rwxr-xr-x 1 postgres dba 151544 Sep 26 10:38 /data/postgres/13.0/lib64/plpython3.so
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks very much in advance.
Cheers,
Paul
