We run Postgres 9.6 + 12 Community Edition on RHEL7 which we install directly out of the PGDG channels using RPMs. We also run Patroni installed with RPMs provided by Github.
Currently we have major dependency conflicts with each quarterly Linux package upgrade (yum upgrade), especially on PostGIS and Patroni.
I was told that there will be no dependency conflicts anymore when we install Postgres from sourcecode and Patroni with pip.
Is that correct? Because all Linux packages required by Postgres will continue to be updated.
