Attempting to install psycopg-binary==2.8.6 produces the following output from python bootstrap.py --postgres

      Error: pg_config executable not found.

      pg_config is required to build psycopg2 from source.  Please add the directory
      containing pg_config to the $PATH or specify the full executable path with the
      option:

          python setup.py build_ext --pg-config /path/to/pg_config build ...

      or with the pg_config option in 'setup.cfg'.

      If you prefer to avoid building psycopg2 from source, please install the PyPI
      'psycopg2-binary' package instead.

      For further information please check the 'doc/src/install.rst' file (also at
      <https://www.psycopg.org/docs/install.html>).

  note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.

This same code does work on 20.04 python3.8 however.

The fix for 22.04 is to just install it via pip install psycopg2-binary without the versioning. Doing so increases the psycopg2-binary package to 2.9.7.

In this package I am not 100% sure we need it pinned. However, this is a question for @shwethanidd.
