BUG #1320: 7.3.8 server RPM has file error
PostgreSQL Bugs List
The following bug has been logged online:
Bug reference: 1320
Logged by: Simon Riggs
Email address: si...@2ndquadrant.com
PostgreSQL version: 7.3.7
Operating system: Fedora Core 1
Description: 7.3.8 server RPM has file error
Details:
Installing postgresql-server-7.3.8-2PGDG.i686.rpm,
I get the following error:
error: unpacking of archive failed on file
/usr/lib/pgsql/utf8_and_gb18030.so;41994c83: cpio: read
7.3.7 RPMs install fine, no problems, runs fine: same site for download...
etc
The same error on the 7.3.8 version happens on both UK mirror sites, and a
US mirror site. [While there I notice: US download was faster than either UK
site, wget-> UK system]
Digging around, it seems that for 7.3.7 and 7.4.5, the naming convention was
*v.v.v-1PGDG* for FC1 and *v.v.v-2PGDG* for FC2. I notice that for 7.3.8 and
7.4.6 both FC1 and FC2 RPMs use the naming convention *v.v.v-2PGDG*. This
may be a red herring, since the file *2PGDG* also fails using FC2 on a
separate system.
Oh, and the bug report web form won't let me use 7.3.8 or 7.4.6 yet.
Hmmm...think I'll try the source build now.

joining column's datatypes do not match

Umm, I've tried installing those rpms on two different servers, but didn't
get that error.
Are you sure that you've downloaded in right form? Did you double check
the md5sums of the packages?
...or could you please try another mirror?

The number before PGDG tag defines the build number actually. If, in a
way, there is a problem while building the RPM, we bump up the spec file
and bump up build number version and rebuild the rpm.

Thanks, fixed.

You removed this sentence I wrote from your reply:
The same error on the 7.3.8 version happens on both UK mirror sites, and
a US mirror site. [While there I notice: US download was faster than
either UK site, wget-> UK system]
=> I tried 3 sites, with identical errors, before reporting this.
Checked the md5sum, which checks also- so not a security problem.
Not sure what else to say. What could be different between *7* and *8*
RPMs?
