Hi, If I run 'rpm -qp --requires postgresql-libs-8.0.3-1PGDG.i686.rpm' on a freshly downloaded RH9 rpm, I get: /sbin/ldconfig /sbin/ldconfig libc.so.6 libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.0) libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.1) libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.1.3) libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.2) libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.3) libcom_err.so.2 libcrypt.so.1 libcrypt.so.1(GLIBC_2.0) libcrypto.so.4 libecpg.so.4 libm.so.6 libm.so.6(GLIBC_2.0) libnsl.so.1 libpgtypes.so.1 libpq.so.3 libresolv.so.2 libssl.so.4 rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1 rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1 Notice libpq.so.3. and libecpg.so.4 (of the 7.x series). This means that 8.0.3 declares itself dependent on the earlier version of the libpq library, thus forcing me to install the compat-postgresql-libs, even though I have no software installed that actually needs the old libraries. This looks like a RPM packageing error, probably because of a problematic configuration on the machine of the packager. I did a rebuild from the source rpm, and now the phony dependencies are gone.
