    Hello,

    please, can somebody help me understand what have I done when I executed this:
    Code:
    yum install pgdg-centos-8.4-2.noarch.rpm
    (I have downloaded the file from yum.pgrpms .org/reporpms/repoview/pgdg-centos.html)

    And the result was:

    essentially nothing.

    yum compared this rpm against an already installed one and decided, this rpm would not be an update.
    So yum did not install it.
    You must always face the curtain with a bow.
