Обсуждение: BUG #17348: Can never install pgsql on Ubuntu
The following bug has been logged on the website: Bug reference: 17348 Logged by: KT LEE Email address: ktr01@protonmail.com PostgreSQL version: Unsupported/Unknown Operating system: Windows 10 Description: I use Win10 + Ubuntu 20.04 and build a website with Ruby on Rails. Whether I changed the existing repo server to pg (in gemfile), or rails new specified db as pg, I all encountered the following error message, followed by a series of error message mazes. I once removed pg and reinstalled it. I have also referred to all the answers on Stack Overflow. I have also asked several questions, but none of them can be resolved. If I try sudo apt-get install libpq-dev, I will encounter "E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. ", and then go back to the beginning of the problem. Compared to elephants, pg may be more like ouroboros. This is the question I asked: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/70496525/cant-find-the-libpq-fe-h-header https://stackoverflow.com/questions/70497607/there-is-no-response-to-the-command-to-install-postgresql-on-ubuntu-gemextb https://stackoverflow.com/questions/70486509/cant-find-the-libpq-fe-h-header-cant-install-libpq-dev This is my error message: $ gem install pg -v '1.2.3' --source 'https://rubygems.org/' Building native extensions.

", and then go back to the This is the problem. Fix apt issue, and then install libpq-dev, and then ruby will allow you to compile its library. As for what is the problem with apt? No idea. Check full output of the apt-get install command, and react accordingly. This is not a bug in Pg. This is not even (most likely) a bug in Ubuntu. depesz p.s. how does windows fit in all of this? You mentioned that you have the problem on Windows, but then you say that you install Pg on ubuntu (which makes sense given apt-get command). So which is it?
This is useless, I run ``` sudo apt install postgresql-contrib libpq-dev ``` and it will stop at "Unable to correct problems,you have held broken packages." I think this is not a rare problem, I hope pg can produce a Q&A guide.

Reason for the problem (as far as I can tell) - why are you running Ubuntu Raring? From 2013 ?! It's no longer supported. Best regards, depesz

Why? No idea. Check /etc/apt for raring mentions, fix what needs to be fixed, remove raring packages, and install pg for ubuntu 20.04 (focal) depesz

You need to configure your installation to utilize the repositories for 20.04 instead and remove the installed packages from the 13.x repositories and install the correct packages from the 20.x repositories. The above links provide an introduction to managing repositories.
