It's a quirk of the server postinstall script. But it doesn't cause any
problems.

The upgrade has to be done on one line: rpm -Uvh
postgresql-7.1beta4-1.i386.rpm postgresql-server-7.1beta4-1.i386.rpm.
Please note that those RPM's were built on RedHat 6.2, not 7.0.

The installed package name is just 'postgresql-7.0.2-17' or
'postgresql-server-7.0.2-17'. No .i386.rpm.
The dependencies on libpq.so.2.1 are more troublesome, unfortunately.
While you can use --nodeps to force bypassing the dependencies, that is
not recommended for the 'typical' RPM install. 7.1beta4 provides
libpq.so.2.2, not libpq.so.2.1, and the dependency system as it stands
won't automatically say 'oh, it's a newer _minor_ version -- no
problem.'
