Red Hat decided not to ship the postgresql-test subpackage. Rebuilding from
the source RPM with the line:
rpm --rebuild --define 'test 1' postgresql.src.rpm
will build the whole shooting match over.
That was Red Hat's decision, not mine. You can of course grab the PGDG binary
RPM's from ftp.postgresql.org -- although they are built for Red Hat 7.3, not
7.2.
Note also that several tests will fail in their default state when run as
stated. You will need to investigate the regress.diff in order to determine
why -- locale setting is the biggest offender on 7.2. A failing regression
test doesn't necessarily indicate a broken installation -- it indicates a
difference in what was expected to be output by the test queries and the
actual output of the test queries.
