Hello Thank you for your guidance. Our Linux Admin team said that they picked up a RHEL9 package with postgres ( I do not from where ), and this package possibly did not have the complete set of executables. They also said that soon they will resolve the issue. The first two commands work , the third command rpm -q | p package_name does not work ( p unknown command ). 馃槉 LG Ram [postgres@lx90158 ~]$ cat /etc/os-release NAME="Red Hat Enterprise Linux" VERSION="9.7 (Plow)" ID="rhel" ID_LIKE="fedora" VERSION_ID="9.7" PLATFORM_ID="platform:el9" PRETTY_NAME="Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.7 (Plow)" ANSI_COLOR="0;31" LOGO="fedora-logo-icon" CPE_NAME="cpe:/o:redhat:enterprise_linux:9::baseos" HOME_URL="https://www.redhat.com/" DOCUMENTATION_URL="https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/9" BUG_REPORT_URL="https://issues.redhat.com/" REDHAT_BUGZILLA_PRODUCT="Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9" REDHAT_BUGZILLA_PRODUCT_VERSION=9.7 REDHAT_SUPPORT_PRODUCT="Red Hat Enterprise Linux" REDHAT_SUPPORT_PRODUCT_VERSION="9.7" [postgres@lx90158 ~]$ [postgres@lx90158 ~]$ rpm -qa | grep -i postgres postgresql-private-libs-16.10-1.module+el9.7.0+23477+80afd791.x86_64 postgresql-16.10-1.module+el9.7.0+23477+80afd791.x86_64 postgresql-server-16.10-1.module+el9.7.0+23477+80afd791.x86_64 [postgres@lx90158 ~]$ [postgres@lx90158 ~]$ rpm -q|p postgresql-server-16.10-1.module+el9.7.0+23477+80afd791.x86_64 -bash: p: command not found rpm: no arguments given for query [postgres@lx90158 ~]$ Freundliche Gr眉脽e i.

Need to read up on it. The two commands you would need (IIRC): rpm -qa | grep -i postgres rpm -qlp packagename HTH, Chris
