No, but RPM does. I am guess that the package was compiled up for
possibly SuSE 9.0? The error is reasonably harmless but you are
going to break your RPM dependency requirements. If you ever
use an auto-updater PostgreSQL might likely break because the updater
will change the packages around.

I would suggest grabbing the .src.rpm and compiling it.
