pg_repack extension upgrade failure

Question

I have upgraded my Postgresql RDS from 12.7 to 13.5 and I'm able to upgrade the available extensions like **pg_stat_statements**, **ltree**, etc expect for **pg_repack**.

**Default version**: 1.4.6

**Installed version**: 1.4.5

When I try to upgrade pg_repack extensions using sql statement

> ALTER EXTENSION "pg_repack" UPDATE TO '1.4.6';

**Error message**:
>  [22023] ERROR: extension "pg_repack" has no update path from version "1.4.5" to version "1.4.6"

I'm not sure how to solve this issue with RDS.

Accepted Answer

Looks like **pg_repack ** does not have update path.

> If you are upgrading from a previous version of pg_repack or pg_reorg, just drop the old version from the database [as explained](https://reorg.github.io/pg_repack/) and install the new version.

I will send a PR to update this note on their AWS upgrade documentation.
