    Bug reference:      18895
    Logged by:          Hans Buschmann
    Email address:      buschmann@nidsa.net
    PostgreSQL version: 17.4
    Operating system:   Fedora 42 Server x86-64
    Description:        
    
    Following the official availability of Fedora 42 on April 15 2025 I tried to
    upgrade some virtual machines with Fedora server x86-64.
    
    In all cases Postgres 17.4 was installed from PGDG repositories (not the
    builtin version)
    
    Postgres blocked the upgrade, so I removed all postgresql17* packages. The
    general upgrade of Fedora 41 to Fedora 42 then was successfull.
    
    Trying to install the new repo from the installation website with:
    
    sudo dnf install -y
    https://download.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/reporpms/F-42-x86_64/pgdg-fedora-repo-latest.noarch.rpm
    
    resulted in:
    
    Failed to download files
     Librepo error: Status code: 404 for

    (IP: 2a04:4e42:8e::820)
    
    I manually installed the repo from
    https://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/reporpms/F-42-x86_64/pgdg-fedora-repo-42.0-36PGDG.noarch.rpm
    
    But further installation gave me:
    [root@linux ~]# dnf list postgresql17*
    Updating and loading repositories:
     PostgreSQL common RPMs for Fedora 42 - x86_64

    .. etc...
    
    By looking to directory
    https://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/common/fedora/
    
    ./
    fedora-40-x86_64/                                  14-Apr-2025 14:11        
              -
    fedora-41-x86_64/                                  14-Apr-2025 14:11        
              -
    
    I noticed that fedora-42 is missing there.
    
    This may be the reason for the installation failure.
    
    Perhaps I am missing something else so please give me some advise...
    
    Thanks in advance

    This is a packaging problem.  I'll ping the pgsql-pkg-yum mailing list, where this belongs.

    It takes some time to build the packages from scratch (with the stable
    version of the OS), verifying and syncing them. Just finished syncing. 
    dnf system-upgrade should work. There are 2 known issues that I
    documented here:
    
    https://yum.postgresql.org/news/fedora-42-packages-released/
    
    But:

    That is a problem indeed and we are working on fixing it. Until then you
    can use this direct link for now:
