That was fixed some time ago as of 1a72a7a5eabc9e3a657f8104b96cf3e8caf2cb26.

Unfortunately this wasn't released and I since merged all the work for the upcoming v5, which involves a lot of changes and a hard compatibility break. So it's not really possible to release a new v4.2.x at this point, at least not easily (new branch and everything). v5 should be released hopefully soon (the main blocker is that the documentation needs a lot of modifications and this is taking a lot of time).

Ok I see. There's a few more changes that would have to be backported (pg_stat_checkpointer etc), but the commits don't apply. I'll just wait for v5. Thanks!

Hi, is v5 making progress? There's only a few packages left to complete the PG17 transition in Debian, powa-archivist being one.

Hi,

I just released powa-archivist and powa-web version 5.0.0, which adds the pg17 compatibility. Sorry the for delay,
