Additional context

Seems that the prior version folders are being cleaned up, so not sure why we are getting these warnings. We did this on lower tier and have yet to do this on our higher tier. So if we take this python package folder for example -

10 warning: file /usr/pgadmin4/venv/lib/python3.9/site-packages/zipp-3.20.0.dist-info: remove failed: No such file or directory

On lower tier where we ran the yum update this folder (version 3.20.0) does not exist but the next version does (version 3.20.2).

[root@lower_tier_server ~]# ls -ltr /usr/pgadmin4/venv/lib/python3.9/site-packages | grep zipp-3. drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 102 Sep 29 08:20 zipp-3.20.2.dist-info

Meaning that the folder did get wiped/cleaned out. On higher tier where we have not updated yet, this folder does exist.

[root@higher_tier_server ~]# ls -ltr /usr/pgadmin4/venv/lib/python3.9/site-packages | grep zipp-3. drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 102 Sep 14 23:22 zipp-3.20.0.dist-info

Hi @maninders-sbs Do you get this kind of warning every time or sometime?

Also were you able to upgrade pgAdmin 4 successfully?

Hi @anilsahoo20

It is happening all the time. And as I mentioned in the "Additional Context" section, it seems all is well. The folders mentioned do get deleted and the new (upgraded) ones do get created. So far, we have not observed any issues with the upgrade. However, we wanted to raise this, should there be any side effect of these warnings.
