You don't do what you did. You should have built an rpm for postgresql
rev X and installed it. The new-package should have listed this as
dependency.

No.

This is just plain bad. rpm is there for a good reason and mixing rpm
and non-rpm packages is asking for a mess. Don't cheat the system and
don't ask people to install with a --force (way, way too many people
have shot themselves in the foot using --force).
