Ok, I can reproduce on a different machine from the one I tried earlier. I guess my main machine has a cached psycopg2 wheel that was working.

So the options here appear to be:

Keep psycopg2 as the dependency and require users install PostgreSQL.
Change the dependency to psycopg2-binary. That would be against psycopg2’s own recommendation:

The psycopg2-binary package is meant for beginners to start playing with Python and PostgreSQL without the need to meet the build requirements. If you are the maintainer of a publish package depending on psycopg2 you shouldn’t use ‘psycopg2-binary’ as a module dependency. For production use you are advised to use the source

Remove the psycopg2 dependency and require django-cockroachdb users to manually install either psycopg2 or psycopg2-binary.

I amended #130 to point to https://www.psycopg.org/docs/install.html#build-prerequisites which mentions libpq-dev.
