Hello Community!
One of my Postgresql servers has been over the years through "in-place" update for last 6 years or so. Currently stands at 18.04 w/ Postgres-12-Postgis 3.1, the server went through multiple version os Ubuntu and PostgreSQL .
I am trying to upgrade Ubuntu to 20.04 first before upgrading PostgreSQL, but failed with OS upgrade. Here are the last few lines in /var/log/dist-upgrade/main.log after failed upgrade:
2021-11-09 08:35:50,044 DEBUG blacklist expr '^postgresql-.*[0-9][0-9].*' matches 'postgresql-12-postgis-3'
2021-11-09 08:35:50,044 DEBUG The package 'postgresql-12-postgis-3' is marked for removal but it's in the removal blacklist
2021-11-09 08:35:50,053 ERROR Dist-upgrade failed: 'The package 'postgresql-12-postgis-3' is marked for removal but it is in the removal blacklist.'
2021-11-09 08:35:50,055 DEBUG abort called
The offending package 'postgresql-12-postgis-3' corresponds my current Postgresql version. Should I remove the package and proceed with OS upgrade? I am at a loss...
Thanks!
