Hi,
I just downloaded the 8.1.1 rpms for FC4 from postgresql.org.
It appears that removing the existing rpms will require also
removing a number of dependencies. (That what Synaptics asserts...)
Is it possible to use a "rpm -Uvh *" to overwrite the existing
8.1.0 rpms from postgresql.org? and not have to reload all of
the other bits and pieces?
That should work just fine. You shouldn't need to dump/reload
either, although I always do where possible.
Don't forget when 8.2 comes out and you want to upgrade you will
NEED to pg_dump your data first and then restore it.

Oh well, I chickened out and rm'ed the existing rpms and noted which
dependencies were
deleted via pencil and paper.
I then installed the new rpms and reinstalled the previous dependencies.
I think it probably took less time to build and install from source
on my mac than
going with the rpm route :)
Thanks,
Jerry
