oh, my bad sorry, maybe somebody else would have a good idea.

Lol, I seem to have misread something last time, a landscape-api line like this worked properly: landscape-api
create-pocket--mirror-suite focal-pgdg --mirror-uri https://apt.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt  pgdg focal ubuntu  main
amd64mirror mirror-key --mirror-gpg-key postgresql 
 
So everything seems ok with your setup 😃

Maybe the landscape-api line is helpful for somebody else in the future

Thx
