Problem Note 65303: Upgrading from SAS® Viya® 3.4 to SAS® Viya® 3.5 fails with the error "/opt/sas/viya/home/bin/pg_ctl: No such file or directory..."
 |  |  |  |  |
When you upgrade from SAS Viya 3.4 to SAS Viya 3.5, the upgrade might fail with the following error:
This issue is caused by the yum option clean_requirements_on_remove, which is normally located in the /etc/yum.conf directory. If the option is set to 1, True, or yes, it removes the current PostgreSQL install because a new version of PostgreSQL is delivered with SAS Viya 3.5. However, the upgrade to the newer version of PostgreSQL is not required or automatic, so the current version needs to be kept.
If you encounter this error, complete these steps:
- Restore your system to a healthy and running SAS Viya 3.4 state.
- Set the clean_requirements_on_remove option in /etc/yum.conf to 0, False, or no. The default value for this option is False.
- Run the SAS Viya 3.5 upgrade.
