Research direction

Start with the generated/13/Dockerfile.rhel8 linked in the issue and compare its upgrade-related environment with the working RHEL7-based image. Reproduce the PostgreSQL 12-to-13 upgrade on the RHEL8 image and verify that the missing previous-version setting is handled and the upgrade completes successfully.

Description

I was trying to test postgresql upgrade to version 13 from version 12 using RHEL8 based image but it's not working. I see the following env is missing in RHEL8 based postgresql 13 Dockerfile.

POSTGRESQL_PREV_VERSION=12

Here is the link to problematic Dockerfile.

https://github.com/sclorg/postgresql-container/blob/generated/13/Dockerfile.rhel8

I tried the same upgrade using RHEL7 based image and it works fine.
