Hi team,

I got problem when I going to install Citus in Ubuntu 24.04. Here's the error:

Does Ubuntu 24.04 not be supported yet?

I too have this same issue ... looking at your package list, it appears you have Postgre16 packages for jammy and bionic, but not yet noble. Is this correct.?

@FellGleaming

I think what you said is the root cause. They didn't upload packages for noble.
So as the solution, I edited the source file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/citusdata_community.list, replace the noble with jammy. Then do execute apt update then install, then everything looks fine.

I'm not sure whether this is recommended by official or not.
