Update topology 3.3.3 to 3.3.6 fails

[Regina Obe]

I vaguely recall running into this issue when doing CREATE EXTENSION postgis_topology;  But haven’t seen the issue in recent versions of postgis (e.g. 3.4 and above) and can’t remember how I worked around it.

 

 

Is your search_path set just for your user setting or for the database?

 

Have you tried resetting the search path.

 

Something like:

 

set search_path=postgis, topology;

 

alter extension postgis_topology update to "3.3.6";

 

 

Are you able to use a newer PostGIS say 3.3.7 (3.3.8 came out yesterday so might not be available yet in most distros),

Hi, 
Need some help.

teglms=# \dx post*

teglms=# select user;
    user

 eglmsadmin

teglms=# show search_path ;
    search_path

 postgis, topology

Why update can't find a type geometry?
