It has something to do with a satellite? (I'm not a Linux Admin - > I don't really know what they're talking about).

They are not. They are part Pulp for example, but in particular they are part of RedHat Satellite which is probably why the package version has a name ending in "sat". So it would be something a Linux admin would put in there, not the DBA. But to answer the question, no they are not required by PostgreSQL, repmgr or pgbouncer. -- Magnus Hagander Me: https://www.hagander.net/ <http://www.hagander.net/> Work: https://www.redpill-linpro.com/ <http://www.redpill-linpro.com/>
