I just added the extra tests to the postgresql-13 package and got this: $ cat build/src/test/ssl/tmp_check/log/regress_log_002_scram No such file or directory at /srv/projects/postgresql/pg/master/build/../src/test/perl/TestLib.pm line 595. But I just realized that the problem is caused by a Debian-specific patch that removes the find_my_exec logic from pg_config and replaces it with PGBINDIR. We need that patch because we install pg_config to both /usr/bin and /usr/lib/postgresql/<version>/bin and want the same output from both. I'll revisit that to see if we can come up with a different solution. Christoph
