Not sure if they were updated, but we (James from Dell, I watched) did remove all the 8.0.1 rpms and install 8.0.2 just fine.

Below is what I wrote about trying the 8.0.1 rpms. Ok, I thought I'd try the 8.0.1 rpms just for giggles. I was able to install the postgresql-libs rpm for 8.0.1 with out a problem. It looks like there is a bug in the 8.0.2 if you are installing from scratch. Can someone please point me to the proper place to log this bug.
