Repmgr 5.2.1 rpm naming convention

[chvsunny]

Hi,

We notice a change is naming convention of repmgr rpm from 5.2.1. Any reason behind this? Is this going to be standard going forward?

Till 5.2.0 —> repmgr11-5.2.0-1.rhel7.x86_64.rpm
From 5.2.1 —> repmgr_11-5.2.1-1.rhel7.x86_64.rpm ( “_“ in between repmgr and postgres release version)

Challenge with this is, the new version is obsoleting all the previous packages. Its not allowing to install 5.0.0.

I've both repmgr11-5.2.0-1.rhel7.x86_64.rpm and repmgr_11-5.2.1-1.rhel7.x86_64.rpm in the repo

I'm trying to install repmgr11-5.0.0-1.rhel7, but repmgr_11-5.2.1-1.rhel7.x86_64 is getting installed.

This appears to be a policy change in the PGDG community repository; see commit ba535ce9.

I'm trying to install repmgr11-5.0.0-1.rhel7, but repmgr_11-5.2.1-1.rhel7.x86_64 is getting installed.

Untested, but try adding the option --setopt=obsoletes=0 to the yum command.

Any suggestion/fix for this?

The 2ndQuadrant (EDB) repository has not made this change in this respect, so as a workaround you could use that; see: Installing repmgr from packages for details.
