Issue/Introduction

The [email protected] package was introduced in GPDB 7.5.0. When executing gppkg migrate, if gppkg discovers a new package in the destination but cannot locate the same package in the source, it attempts to generate a plan to move the package from the source to the destination. However, since the package is not found in the source, this leads to an infinite loop as gppkg repeatedly tries to find the package in the source location.

Environment

GPDB 7.5.0 

GPDB 7.5.1 

Cause

When executing gppkg migrate, if gppkg discovers a new package in the destination but cannot locate the same package in the source, it attempts to generate a plan to move the package from the source to the destination.

Resolution

This issue will be resolved in GPDB 7.5.2 or later.
