Hi, I tried installing using the Direct Download RPMs for two systems I am using. The installation using the rpm files did not install in one case and the other did not install all files to the target directory I was expecting. 1) Upgrading postgresql on a 64 bit Fedora 16 desktop from 9.1.5 to 9.2 using the rpms provided in the download section. I tried installing with yum the rpm files but getting an error message. $ ls postgresql92-9.2.0-1PGDG.f16.x86_64.rpm postgresql92-devel-9.2.0-1PGDG.f16.x86_64.rpm postgresql92-server-9.2.0-1PGDG.f16.x86_64.rpm postgresql92-contrib-9.2.0-1PGDG.f16.x86_64.rpm postgresql92-docs-9.2.0-1PGDG.f16.x86_64.rpm postgresql92-test-9.2.0-1PGDG.f16.x86_64.rpm postgresql92-debuginfo-9.2.0-1PGDG.f16.x86_64.rpm postgresql92-libs-9.2.0-1PGDG.f16.x86_64.rpm $ sudo yum install ./postgresql92-* Loaded plugins: auto-update-debuginfo, fastestmirror, langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit Examining ./postgresql92-9.2.0-1PGDG.f16.x86_64.rpm: postgresql92-9.2.0-1PGDG.f16.x86_64 ./postgresql92-9.2.0-1PGDG.f16.x86_64.rpm: does not update installed package.

Error: Nothing to do http://yum.postgresql.org/9.2/fedora/fedora-16-x86_64/repoview/ Did I down the correct rpms ? 2) The second install was to a 64 bit RHEL6 server. The RPM files installed using yum successfully. Downloaded the files from http://yum.postgresql.org/9.2/redhat/rhel-6-x86_64/repoview/ However the files to provide postgresql tooling and server execution were not installed into /usr/bin I was trying to execute initdb. I did find it in an the 'postgresql92-9.2.0-1PGDG.rhel6.x86_64.rpm' file but the installation target directory is /usr/pgsql-9.2/bin $ ls postgresql92-9.2.0-1PGDG.rhel6.x86_64.rpm postgresql92-docs-9.2.0-1PGDG.rhel6.x86_64.rpm postgresql92-contrib-9.2.0-1PGDG.rhel6.x86_64.rpm postgresql92-libs-9.2.0-1PGDG.rhel6.x86_64.rpm postgresql92-devel-9.2.0-1PGDG.rhel6.x86_64.rpm postgresql92-server-9.2.0-1PGDG.rhel6.x86_64.rpm $ ls /usr/pgsql-9.2/bin clusterdb droplang pg_archivecleanup pg_ctl pg_restore postgres vacuumlo createdb dropuser pg_basebackup pg_dump pg_standby postmaster createlang ecpg pgbench pg_dumpall pg_test_fsync psql createuser initdb pg_config pg_receivexlog pg_test_timing reindexdb dropdb oid2name pg_controldata pg_resetxlog pg_upgrade vacuumdb [postgres@benchserver2 tmp]$ That means users on the system cannot immediately execute these files. Was there a mistake in the packaging paths of these files in the RPM ?
