Install Postgresql on Ubuntu 18.04 Bionic (repo removed)

I'm getting

E: The repository 'https://apt.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt bionic-pgdg Release' no longer has a Release file.

on sudo apt update. That means that repo for bionic is not accessible.

In my case for this time I can't upgrade Ubuntu version to a newer one and somehow need to manage that. In this case I suppose I need to remove file from /etc/apt/sources.list.d which contains:

deb https://apt.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt bionic-pgdg main

But then how can I have a possibility to install Postgresql on Bionic? Is there any way e.g. to download and install from source?

Solution

  • The packages have been moved to apt-archive.

    Point your sources.list entry to

    deb https://apt-archive.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt bionic-pgdg main
