Hi Community,
I have a PostgreSQL 17.2 database running on Ubuntu 22.04. I'm trying to
install the |passwordcheck| extension, but I keep getting a "file not
found" error.
postgres=# create extension passwordcheck;
ERROR: extension "passwordcheck" is not available
DETAIL: Could not open extension control file "/usr/share/
postgresql/17/extension/passwordcheck.control": No such file or directory.
HINT: The extension must first be installed on the system where
PostgreSQL is running.
Even though I have installed the |postgresql-contrib| packages, I still
cannot see the extension. Below, I have listed the steps I followed.
Could you help me with this issue?

To install passwordcheck, you shouldn't use "CREATE EXTENSION". You need
to add it to shared_preload_librarires, restart PostgreSQL, and that's all.
Regards.
