PostgreSQL info module fails with Cannot execute SQL syntax error at or near "b'oid'"

[chriscroome]

SUMMARY

On a new Debian 12 server the info module is failing for me with:

Cannot execute SQL 'SELECT s.b'oid', s.b'subdbid', s.b'subskiplsn', s.b'subname', s.b'subowner', s.b'subenabled', s.b'subbinary', s.b'substream', s.b'subtwophasestate', s.b'subdisableonerr', s.b'subconninfo', s.b'subslotname', s.b'subsynccommit', s.b'subpublications', r.rolname AS ownername, d.datname AS dbname FROM pg_catalog.pg_subscription s JOIN pg_catalog.pg_database d ON s.subdbid = d.oid JOIN pg_catalog.pg_roles AS r ON s.subowner = r.oid': syntax error at or near "b'oid'"
LINE 1: SELECT s.b'oid', s.b'subdbid', s.b'subskiplsn', s.b'subname'...

OS / ENVIRONMENT

Debian 12.9

apt info postgresql
Package: postgresql

Description: object-relational SQL database (supported version)
 This metapackage always depends on the currently supported PostgreSQL
 database server version.
 .
 PostgreSQL is a fully featured object-relational database management
 system.  It supports a large part of the SQL standard and is designed
 to be extensible by users in many aspects.  Some of the features are:
 ACID transactions, foreign keys, views, sequences, subqueries,
 triggers, user-defined types and functions, outer joins, multiversion
 concurrency control.  Graphical user interfaces and bindings for many
 programming languages are available as well.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

I'm using this role with the following config:

postgresql: true
postgresql_db: plane
postgresql_db_owner: plane
postgresql_db_state: present
postgresql_user: plane

This is the task in question.

EXPECTED RESULTS

Not a failure, the thing I don't understand is that the tests I have for this role that are run via Molecule / GitLab CI don't fail.

Hi @chriscroome , which version of psycopg are you using? psycopg2 or psycopg (version 3)?

Thanks @betanummeric the server had both versions:

Doing apt purge python3-psycopg solved it, thanks!
