Обсуждение: Can't update RPM package to latest version

I have several installation of postgres 14 and 17 on Rocky
Linux 9 from the postgres.org repo. I am not able to update
the postgresql17-contrib package to the latest version
(17.7), it gives me this error :

Error:
 Problem: cannot install the best candidate for the job
  - nothing provides libcrypto.so.3(OPENSSL_3.4.0)(64bit)
needed by postgresql17-contrib-17.7-1PGDG.rhel9.x86_64 from
pgdg17

It's a similar error with pgdg14.

Any hints ?

openssl-libs is at 3.2.2.6.el9_5.1 and has no update. I
suppose that it's a downstream from RH problem ?

Yes, it is a rocky/alma problem:

Devrim mentions a fix in the second post.
