Обсуждение: PostgreSQL 18 not available for Noble?

Hi all,

As per $subject - is PG 18 not available for Ubuntu Noble (24.04)?

My laptop runs Tuxedo OS which is based on Noble, and doing this -

     apt search postgresql-18

- finds lots of extensions and other stuff, but not postgresql-18 
itself; whereas if I execute the same command on a Debian 13 (Trixie) 
server it pops up at the top of the list.

Thanks all,

Ray.

Did you do?:

sudo apt update

I see it here:

https://apt.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt/dists/noble-pgdg/

Check:

Are the PGDG repos set up in Tuxedo OS?

Or are is Tuxedo using the default Ubuntu repo, which is pinned at 
Postgres 16:

https://packages.ubuntu.com/noble/database/postgresql

Problem solved - it turned out I was doing something stupid - I hadn't 
downloaded the repository key from apt.postgresql.org. Once I did that, 
PG 18 installed without a hitch. I put it down to brain fog (I'm 
currently isolating with Covid)...

Thanks again for the help!

Ray.
