[Bug 1175643] New: server:database:postgresql/postgresql11: Bug pg_config is not symlinked to /usr/bin/pg_config after installing

We maintain PostgreSQL through the update-alternatives mechanism and the symlink pointing from /usr/bin/pg_config to the respective /usr/lib/postgresqlXX/bin/pg_config file will only be created for the PostgreSQL version that is currently "active", and only if the server-devel package of that version is installed.
In order to get the pg_config symlink pointing to the postgresql11 version you either need to uninstall all newer PostgreSQL packages (i.e. postgresql12*), so that postgresql11* becomes the default automatically, or you can manually set the default version to postgresql11:
# update-alternatives --set postgresql /usr/lib/postgresql11
Thank you, you're right. The postgresql12 package was installed automatically, I think it's because it's (confusingly) a recommended install when installing postgresql11, but postgresql12-server-devel was not, so I didn't have a pg_config file. Thanks for your help! -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Maybe I should consider lowering that RECOMMENDS to a SUGGESTS next time I make some bigger changes to these packages anyway, e.g. when introducing version 13 in a few weeks. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
