Hi folks,
I'm trying to install Postgresql 9.6 on a test machine in Google Cloud
Platform
After a fresh install with Debian 9 (just after the instance has been
created) I follow steps from here
https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Apt
(instead of pg 10 I install pg 9.6)
During the installation process i encounter the following strange
warnings that, even if that's a test machine, make me think twice before
going ahead.
[...]
Processing triggers for man-db (2.7.6.1-2) ...
Setting up pgdg-keyring (2017.3) ...
Removing apt.postgresql.org key from trusted.gpg: Warning: The postinst
maintainerscript of the package pgdg-keyring
Warning: seems to use apt-key (provided by apt) without depending on
gnupg or gnupg2.
Warning: This will BREAK in the future and should be fixed by the
package maintainer(s).
Note: Check first if apt-key functionality is needed at all - it
probably isn't!
OK
Setting up xml-core (0.17) ...
[...]
I have to say that installation is successfully and database server goes
up and apparently with no problems at all.
This looks like a warning for the package maintainers regarding ensuring
the package depends on either gnupg or gnupg2 and nothing you need to
worry about unless you are building/maintaining deb packages for postgres.
Brilliant. That's what I needed to know. Just to avoid bitter surprises
in the future... :-)
The Debian package manager, apt, uses gpg keys to verify the
authenticity of packages it downloads. My guess is that previously, you
only needed to ensure the package had a dependency on apt-key and now
apt has/is changing such that you need to have an explicit dependency on
either gnupg or gnupg2.
... so if I update/upgrade this instance in the future it will be
automatically fixed (and there shouldn't be issues), right?
Thanks a lot!
Moreno.-
