Re: pgdg94 conflicts with RHEL 6.8

Hi Tony,

This is a known issue, which I ignored for a long time, because there was a
workaround (not using OS-supplied libevent...)

However, now I see that Red Hat released libevent2 package, I need to shuffle
the repo a bit (the problem is the libmemcached package that we add only for
RHEL 6 to support pgmemcached, which needs libevent 1.4, causing conflicts.

Let me see what I can do.

I created a bug report to track this:
