Hi I am having trouble installing the following package:
http://rufus.w3.org/linux/RPM/rhcn/i386/postgresql-rhcn-data-6.4.2-3.i386.ht
ml.
I hope you can help. I tried to upgrade from the postgres that came with
Redhat 5.2 (postgre 6.3) so I uninstalled the packages and started to
install your versions. When I got to this packages, I guess the
uninstalling removed the postgres user so I put it back. Now I can
neither uninstall (rpm -e says that it is not installed) or install (rpm
-i and rpm -U says that it is already installed?!)
As well, I think that you may have missed something in your package-
there is only the pgsql and pgsql/backup directory. I can't find the
template1 and base directories that I had before. I hope that you can
help.
Thanks.
PS I also sent this to veillard@w3.org

I don't know the origins of this RPM, but you can force an
installation by using
rpm -Uvh --force packagefilename
Since you've already uninstalled, this shouldn't cause more damage to
your rpm database (which btw shouldn't be sensitive to rpm package
contents??) and I would expect that it would uninstall cleanly
afterwards.
I usually add a "--test" option before forcing an installation, just
to catch any other potential problems.
Good luck.

We tried this and it didn't work. Could you please suggest something else?

Well, install from sources. It works, and is straight forward. You
should install into /opt/postgres if'n you want my opinion.
Don't know anything about the rpm you are looking at, and don't know
what "didn't work" actually means. Sorry.
