repmgr 5.2: "replication_type": invalid value (provided: "physical")

[ibarwick]

In repmgr 5.2, if the configuration file parameter replication_type is set, repmgr will report:

ERROR: following errors were found in the configuration file:
"replication_type": invalid value (provided: "physical")

This is due to an omission in the upgraded configuration file handling system.

Note that replication_type is a deprecated parameter which can only accept one value (physical), which is the default.

As a workaround, simply omit this parameter from the configuration file.
