If I run 'rpm -qp --requires postgresql-libs-8.0.3-1PGDG.i686.rpm' on a freshly downloaded RH9 rpm, I get:

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.
Thanks for the report. My Red Hat 9 machine is an ancient one, it will take some hours for a rebuild. Will inform you about the test after that.
