Hi,
Postgresql-client is not available in the main repository (server is!). I
assumed it was due to the complicated license:
https://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs//main/p/postgresql-13/postgresql-13_13.4-0+deb11u1_copyright
So I wrote a packaging recipe (below) and submitted to nonfree. Was told
it might be that no one has gotten around to packaging for main yet. I see
the documentation for submitting patches, but not recipe files. Is there a
protocol for submitting packaging recipes?
guix build succeeds:
...[many successes]...
