Apt lists numerous 9.6 support packages (unit, repmgr, repack, plv8, ...) but with unsatisfied dependencies due to the lasck of postgresql-9.6.I tried adding -testing to the repo but no joy:deb http://apt.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt/ xenial-pgdg-testing main Is packaging just not complete or am I missing something?

In case it is useful for reference, I beat my head on it a bit more and replaced "main" with "9.6":

Be prepared to pg_dump the database contents before you upgrade the package to a newer alpha/beta or to a final release. Check the release notes before upgrading. We ship packages for alpha and beta releases, but like in the previous FAQ entry, we have only one version of libpq5 in the main archive component. To use packages of postgresql-9.6, you need to add the 9.6 component to your /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pgdg.list entry, so the 9.6 version of libpq5 will be available for installation: deb http://apt.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt/ jessie-pgdg main 9.6 > > Life is good, again. > > Cheers, > Steve -- Adrian Klaver adrian.klaver@aklaver.com
In case it is useful for reference, I beat my head on it a bit more and
replaced "main" with "9.6":
deb http://apt.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt/ xenial-pgdg 9.6
Yes, that is an FAQ item:
https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Apt/FAQ
If I might be so bold, one or more of the following would make life easier on users and perhaps get more people to test:
1. Change the wording in the main postgresql.org announcement to be "Download RC1" and link directly to https://www.postgresql.org/download/snapshots/
2. Bring non Red Hat releases up to parity.
By way of example, from the snapshots page clicking on the link under Red Hat (and variants) takes you to http://yum.postgresql.org/ page where 9.6 beta is right at the top. From there all you have to do is select your release of choice.
By comparison, follow the https://apt.postgresql.org/ link under Debian, Ubuntu Linux and you are redirected to the wiki where, if you are fortunate, you will find "Have a look at the FAQ." nestled about half-way down then dig through that page. I never got there but figured it out by clicking through the file browser after wasting time seeing lots of 9.6 utilities/addons already listed but broken due to the lack of availability of the actual server and client.
I know this is open source. I know that people work on their "itch" or what their employer sponsors. I'm just sharing the user experience should it provide value and increase the number of testers.
Cheers,
Steve

And now it is not, which was the purpose of the link.

About the 'itch' thing, it is a Wiki so you have the ability to scratch that itch. You can sign up for a community account: https://www.postgresql.org/account/signup/ and then: NOTE: due to recent spam activity "editor" privileges are granted manually for the time being. If you just created a new community account or if your current account used to have "editor" privileges ask on either the PostgreSQL -www Mailinglist or the PostgreSQL IRC Channel (direct your request to 'pginfra', multiple individuals in the channel highlight on that string) for help. Please include your community account name in those requests. > > Cheers, > Steve > -- Adrian Klaver adrian.klaver@aklaver.com
