1. uninstalling postgresql 13 on ubuntu 22.04?

   Richard Welty <rwelty@salesium.com> — 2024-11-27T21:54:04Z

   i installed pg13 from the postgres repos but am not really using it
   
   in that form; i'm using docker images instead. i now find i need
   
   to uninstall it to facilitate upgrading my desktop to ubuntu 24
   
   
   
   is apt remove an effective way to uninstall or is there a better method?
   
   
   
   thanks,

   If  you used "apt install" to install it in the first place, then yes, 
   "apt remove" is the only way to remove it cleanly.
   
   Note that this won't delete the data directory - you'll need to use the 
   Debian-specific script pg_dropcluster to do this. Also, I don't think it 
   removes the config files in /etc/postgresql, though "apt purge" should 
   do for those.

   Not really. Per here:
   
   https://www.postgresql.org/download/linux/ubuntu/
   
   Ubuntu 24 is supported, You would just have to change the repo to:
   
   ... noble-pgdg ...

   Otherwise follow Raymond O'Donnell's suggestions to uninstall/purge.
