I upgraded Postgresql 16 to Postgresql 17.

I have the same error with this command openproject configure

Hi,

This looks like this might be related to the following bug:

https://community.openproject.org/projects/openproject/work_packages/74539/activity

You can either wait for the release of 17.4.0 or you can use the workaround mentioned in the ticket to proceed with the update.
