Here’s the culprit… Now, let’s see if we can figure why it failed to find pg_config.
What is your base OS?

cat /etc/os-release

The pg_config is provided by the postgresql13-server-devel on a Leap15.4 Rockstor install from the ISO, so let’s verify that in your system:
first, is it present?

which pg_config

and then is the package installed?

Hi @Flox,

I did a google search and this is defo not an area I have had experience before and it does see that the ‘pg_config’ is not configured and looking at this website

PostgreSQL: Documentation: 15: pg_config

Example
To reproduce the build configuration of the current PostgreSQL installation, run the following command:

eval ./configure `pg_config --configure`
The output of pg_config --configure contains shell quotation marks so arguments with spaces are represented correctly. Therefore, using eval is required for proper results.

Is this the way to address this issue so I can get my media server back online?

Thanks

Hi @agjbond007 ,

Sorry for not getting back earlier… This one is actually a bit tricky as it results from some unknown changes in the system packages that provides this binary. I started looking into it last night but got interrupted and I haven’t been able to find time since.

The bottom line is that this binary is “supposed” to be provided by the postgresql13-server-devel package, but it isn’t anymore in your system. I suspect something happened during some system updates–this is also likely if you stayed from 15.3 and zypper dup’ed to 15.4 as there may have been some changes in how that binary is provided.

I unfortunately can’t test any of this at this very moment but if you are game, we can try to see if reinstalling/installing some packages can help you. I must preface that this would be trial and error for me, though. Let me know if you are game and I can write down what I can think worth trying.

Hi @Flox,

I am game, pass over the details I will read and understand the risks and we can build a test plan to confirm what makes this issue go away.

Thanks

Thanks, and thank you for your understanding here…

Ok, so first, let’s make sure your system has all the repos it should and that all is up-to-date:

zypper ref
zypper update --no-recommends

zypper lr --uri

Let’s also make sure this didn’t magically resolve the issue by verifying the presence/absence of the missing binary:

which pg_config

For reference, here’s how it looks like on my end:

Our postgresql-related dependencies are defined at:

You can then also try to force-reinstall these…

zypper in --no-recommends -f postgresql13 postgresql13-server postgresql13-server-devel

… and again verify the presence/absence of pg_config:

which pg_config

If pg_config still cannot be found, you can try using the following:

zypper in --no-recommends postgresql postgresql-server postgresql-server-devel

Something else to verify:
The /usr/bin/pg_config binary is actually “managed” by alternatives; see how it is on my system:

rockstable:~ # ls -lah /usr/bin/pg_config
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 27 Jan 26 07:11 /usr/bin/pg_config -> /etc/alternatives/pg_config

The latter is actually linking to the postgresql’s bin version:

rockstable:~ # ls -lah /etc/alternatives/pg_config
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 35 Jan 26 07:11 /etc/alternatives/pg_config -> /usr/lib/postgresql13/bin/pg_config

And to verify, we have:

rockstable:~ # /usr/bin/pg_config --version
PostgreSQL 13.11

rockstable:~ # /usr/lib/postgresql13/bin/pg_config --version
PostgreSQL 13.11

Maybe we need to re-set the alternatives on your system… First, let’s see if it is indeed listed:

rockstable:~ # update-alternatives --list postgresql
/usr/lib/postgresql13

… we should be able to move forward from there if needed.

@Flox as arranged in side chat - not wanting to clutter here, I have the output from the 3 VM systems that built all the rpm packages in question: going back to 15.3 as we seem to have two instances of this same bug where systems have been in-place zypper dup from 15.3 to 15.4. The 15.5 system is a Minimal_VM refreshed just the other day. Our 15.5 rpms are only really viable in testing currently. But including here for completeness as there was a suspicion that this missing file had some-how been transitioned to a newer postgres package and the change was backported to earlier OS versions - thus removing it from the backports. But that doesn’t seem to be the case as the 15.5 here has ownership of this file and in the same postgresql server dev package as all the others.

rleap15-3:~ # ls -lah /usr/bin/pg_config
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 27 Nov 11  2022 /usr/bin/pg_config -> /etc/alternatives/pg_config
rleap15-3:~ # ls -lah /etc/alternatives/pg_config
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 35 Nov 11  2022 /etc/alternatives/pg_config -> /usr/lib/postgresql13/bin/pg_config
rleap15-3:~ # update-alternatives --list postgresql
/usr/lib/postgresql10
/usr/lib/postgresql13

rleap15-4:~ # ls -lah /usr/bin/pg_config
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 27 Nov 14  2022 /usr/bin/pg_config -> /etc/alternatives/pg_config
rleap15-4:~ # ls -lah /etc/alternatives/pg_config
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 35 Nov 14  2022 /etc/alternatives/pg_config -> /usr/lib/postgresql13/bin/pg_config
rleap15-4:~ # update-alternatives --list postgresql
/usr/lib/postgresql13

rleap15-5:~ # ls -lah /usr/bin/pg_config
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 27 Jul 20 17:22 /usr/bin/pg_config -> /etc/alternatives/pg_config
rleap15-5:~ # ls -lah /etc/alternatives/pg_config
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 35 Jul 20 17:22 /etc/alternatives/pg_config -> /usr/lib/postgresql13/bin/pg_config
rleap15-5:~ # update-alternatives --list postgresql
/usr/lib/postgresql13

Hope that helps, at least for context. All rpms published to testing and stable are build on their respective platforms and the build only succeeds if all tests pass and the resulting rpm then successfully installs. We have more improvements to make re testing but that is, as always, on-going.

Hi @Flox & @phillxnet

Here is the output from all the things you have asked me to run and I really appreciate the effort to put this all together.

To cut to the chase these stand out for me

ls -lah /usr/bin/pg_config
ls: cannot access '/usr/bin/pg_config': No such file or directory

ls -lah /etc/alternatives/pg_configls -lah /etc/alternatives/pg_config
ls: cannot access '/etc/alternatives/pg_configls': No such file or directory

/usr/bin/pg_config --version
-bash: /usr/bin/pg_config: No such file or directory

Interesting…
So everything is correctly installed, but alternatives are no set anymore, or improperly. The fact that you have postgres14 installed is curious too, I wonder where that comes from. It should be fine, though.

Let’s try to set them again: thanks to @phillxnet for reminding all the following about how to do that (as I personally forgot). We indeed had instructions on how to do that in our very first build on openSUSE Leap: Built on openSUSE dev notes and status

In your case, what do you see with the following?

alternatives --config postgresql

You would need to enter the number corresponding to the line for postgresql.

Hello @Flox

There are 2 choices for the alternative postgresql (providing /usr/lib/postgresql).

Awesome! So that was it.

@phillxnet has a very sound explanation as to what might have happened and it relates to the presence of the other postgresql (14) but not all of its packages, in combination with the distribution upgrade (15.3 to 15.4). I’ll let them detail a bit more if/when desired.

Now, you can try to reinstall the rockstor rpm:

zypper in --no-recommends -f rockstor

And look at the poetry install log file to confirm all is well (hopefully): /opt/rockstor/poetry-install.txt.

Hi @Flox,

I was just doing these command and thought I would post it but you beat me to it. Rockstor is up and running and my Rock-ons are now starting up as well.

Seems we have got to the bottom of my system issues nice one and thank you.

Hi @Flox,

Once I get home as I have been doing all this work on the train I will fully test the Rock-ons as at the moment I can’t access them but I can see from docker ps that the docker images are up, Top is also showing lots of activity.

thanks

Glad we could work it all out!
Thank you for not only reporting this, but also your help in figuring it all out!

One point: do you remember if you ever manually install postgresql14 on that machine (before or after the move to 15.4)? We’re just trying to see if there is a reproducible scenario that would lead to the situation in which you found yourself.

Hi @Flox,

I do not know how postgresql14 was installed as I learnt from your troubleshooting how to install postgresql13 :slight_smile:

I had to uninstall with Rock-ons and install them again as they were broken for some reason. They are all now working just fine.

thanks
