Postgis blocks openSUSE-SLE update

English Install/Boot/Login

I am on a fresh install of openSUSE. I’ve set up postgresql-14 and postgis and it’s working beautifully.

When trying to use YaST2 for updates, I get an error message:

the installed postgresql14-postgis-3.4.2-bp156.1.6.x86_64 requires 'postgresql14-server = 14', but this requirement cannot be provided.

It gives me three options:

  1. deinstallation of postgresql14-postgis-3.4.2-bp156.1.6.x86_64
  2. do not install patch: openSUSE-SLE-15.6-2024-2262-1.noarch
  3. break postgresql14-postgis-3.4.2-bp156.1.6.x86_64 by ignoring some of its dependencies.

I use postgis every day so uninstalling or breaking this package is not an option so I have gone with option 2 for the time being. But in the long-run I want to install all available updates.

Is there some reason I cannot install this update and some way to manually fix it, such as by uninstalling postgis, installing the update, then reinstalling it? Or would this not work? I don’t really understand what is going on or why I am getting this message, or what the best way to proceed here is.

This is the problem from that patch:

Konflikte        : [57]
    srcpackage:postgresql14 < 14.12-150600.16.3.1
    postgresql14.noarch < 14.12-150600.16.3.1

Conflicts with postgresql14 lower than 14.12
So postgresql14-server Version 14.11 will be uninstalled but:

rpm -q --requires postgresql14-postgis | grep postgre
postgresql14-server = 14.11

I think, postgresql14-postgis have to be rebuild.

Ahh, that makes sense. Is this something that will get resolved over time? I would prefer not to build it myself. Is there a place I could file a bug report to make the relevant people aware of this issue?

I do not know, if it is on rebuild.

Thanks much. I added a bug, it’s been a while since I filed any bugzilla report so I hope this is the right format and categories and enough info:
