While running a yum update on a system, the update fails with the message:
Transaction Check Error:
package postgresql-libs-8.3.11-1PGDG.el5.x86_64 (which is newer than postgresql-libs-8.1.22-1.el5_5.1.i386) is already installed
I've checked, and I don't have postgresql-libs-8.1.22-1.el5_5.1.i386 installed. I've installed postgresql from the pgdg rpm.
I've modified all the /etc/yum.repos.d/ files to exclude=postgresql*
I have /etc/yum.repos.d/pgdg-83.repo that gets v8.3 .
I don't know why rpm thinks I have something else installed. I just need to know how to clear the error.
Anyone have any pointers?
run rpm -qa | grep postgres - you'll see which postgresql packages are installed. If you'll find there any 8.1 packages, remove them and install compat-postgresql-libs from the pgdg repo instead.
