Re: Errors in pgdg repo packages

I would never use an oracle product. I'd retire first. I've been using RHEL/Centos for 15+ years and switched to Centos Stream at V8. I've been using postgresql for 13+ years. 
even the update repo fails:
>dnf update pgdg-redhat-repo
PostgreSQL common RPMs for RHEL / Rocky Linux / AlmaLinux 10. - x86_64                  497 kB/s | 163 kB     00:00

Errors during downloading metadata for repository 'pgdg17':
  - Status code: 404 for https://download.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/17/redhat/rhel-10.-x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml (IP: 151.101.67.52)
Error: Failed to download metadata for repo 'pgdg17': Cannot download repomd.xml: Cannot download repodata/repomd.xml: All mirrors were tried

So the only solution that has worked for me is a manual edit of the repo file. 

Thanks. Kevin

Looks like you are using an unsupported distro like CentOS Stream of
Oracle Linux which lacks $releasever_minor in dnf. We support RHEL,
AlmaLinux and Rocky Linux (probably more as long as they don't lack that
variable). Recent repo files check that variable to construct the URLs:
