Up until really recently (read: not yet shipped for Red Hat, and I'm
not sure about the PGDG RPMs), the 8.0 RPMs had the wrong Obsoletes:
data in them for replacing rh-postgresql RPMs with later postgresql
RPMs.  So I'd definitely suggest removing *all* the rh-postgresql RPMs
before you try to install newer stuff.  It wasn't real clear whether
that was the sum total of your problem however...

It wouldn't be a bad idea to do "up2date" first.  For all you know
you are fighting a bug in RPM itself.
