I’m trying to install PostgreSQL 14 on openSUSE 15.3 from the standard repos and it also wants to install PostgreSQL 13. There is no need to have both installed. Is there a way to prevent PostgreSQL 13 from being installed?

Here’s the output from the terminal:

sudo zypper in postgresql14-server postgresql14-contrib
Loading repository data...
Reading installed packages...
Resolving package dependencies...

The following 5 recommended packages were automatically selected:
  postgresql13 postgresql13-contrib postgresql13-llvmjit postgresql13-server
  postgresql14-llvmjit

The following 14 NEW packages are going to be installed:
  libLLVM7 libpq5 postgresql postgresql13 postgresql13-contrib
  postgresql13-llvmjit postgresql13-server postgresql14 postgresql14-contrib
  postgresql14-llvmjit postgresql14-server postgresql-contrib postgresql-llvmjit
  postgresql-server

14 new packages to install.
Overall download size: 45.1 MiB. Already cached: 0 B. After the operation,
additional 161.2 MiB will be used.

Hi and welcome to the Forum :slight_smile:
Since they are ‘recommends’ you can over ride this with the no-recommends option;


zypper in --no-recommends postgresql14-server postgresql14-contrib

Thank you. That worked.
