While running a yum update on a system, the update fails with the message:

Transaction Check Error:
  package postgresql-libs-8.3.11-1PGDG.el5.x86_64 (which is newer than
postgresql-libs-8.1.22-1.el5_5.1.i386) is already installed


I've checked, and I don't have  postgresql-libs-8.1.22-1.el5_5.1.i386
installed. I've installed postgresql from the pgdg rpm.

I've modified all the /etc/yum.repos.d/ files to exclude=postgresql*

I have /etc/yum.repos.d/pgdg-83.repo that gets v8.3 .

I don't know why rpm thinks I have something else installed. I just need to
know how to clear the error.

Anyone have any pointers?

This is wrong, if you include pgdg repo in the word "all" above.

What did you exclude exactly?

The message says "You have 8.3, which is newer than 8.1". It does not
say that you have 8.1.

It looks to me like yum would like to install the current Red Hat
version of postgresql-libs, most likely because you have or need to
install some other Red Hat package that requires it.

run rpm -qa | grep postgres - you'll see which postgresql packages are
installed. If you'll find there any 8.1 packages, remove them and install
compat-postgresql-libs from the pgdg repo instead.
