Ubuntu 16.04. LTS unable to locate package postgresql-11
After spending 2-3 hours on this problem I realized that I had never run apt-get update
after adding the pgdg.list
config file. So indexes of packages available from this repository was not available on my local host. As a result apt-get install
was unable to find the package.
I will probably not make this mistake again.

I am running into this issue where I am trying to install postgresql-ll and I followed the instructions given at https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Apt. I have also read previous posts related to this issue and they aren't running into same issue as I am.
When I run
apt-get install
I get the followingsudo apt-get install postgresql-11 pgadmin4 E: Unable to locate package postgresql-11 E: Unable to locate package pgadmin4
I am not sure whether this error means that apt is unable to locate the repository or whether within the repository it is unable to locate the package
postgresql-11
. Since both packages are not being found I am guessing it is unable to find the repository.However, I have followed repository installation instructions as well as shown below:
cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pgdg.list deb http://apt.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt xenial-pgdg main
In the
.list
file I have tried both the URLs: http://apt.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt http://apt.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt/Notice the second one has a trailing slash (wasn't sure if that made a difference). Anyone has any debugging suggestions or thoughts?
