* v8.2.6->8.2.7 upgrade renamed /var/lib/pgsql

To all,
I just applied the v8.2.7 upgrade (from v8.2.6) on and FC8 server via
yum. The upgrade went OK, but the /var/lib/pgsql directory (with the
existing data) was renamed to /var/lib/pgsql.old and a new (and empty)
/var/lib/pgsql directory was created.
Does anyone know why this would have happened?
The particular machine is an FC8, dual core AMD DELL with 4GB RAM
running the x86_64 pg binaries.
I applied the same update (v8.2.6->8.2.7) to an FC7 Pentium4 box running
the 32-bit pg binaries and did not have to rename the /var/lib/pgsql
directories.
Has anyone else run into this?
Thanks, in advance,
Gord

Sorry for the HTML posting previously.
I've already renamed the directories and the database is up and running.
I was just wondering if anyone else had this issue and what the reason, if known, for the renaming. I completely understand this type of behavior when doing a major version upgrade, but not a minor version patch like this.
Thanks,
Gord

That's just weird. I tried the same here (also on an x86_64 F-8 box)
and didn't see it happen. Are you using the standard Fedora update
repository?

Yes, AFAIK, this machine is using the standard Fedora update repository.
I'll just chalk this up to "anomalous behaviour of unknown origin" and
add this to my test-after-updates checklist.
Thanks,
Gord
