Thanks all for your help.  I installed from the RPM, found the sources (although it wasn't obvious), rebuilt the identical version that i had before and I am up and running.

Still, I consider automatic yum updates for Postgres fundamentally broken, if they invalidate your database directory.   A 2 minute update may cost an hour of downtime for someone who is not expecting this, like I wasn't.

I have been installing postgres manually in /usr/local/postgres-<version>/ on all other machines, but on this machine I got lazy. Well now I know :)

Thanks all for good advice.

package?  I'd think reinstalling that would fix your problen.

Unfortunately I removed binary -devel packages from the repository.
However, SRPM do exist:

http://yum.pgsqlrpms.org/srpms/8.4/redhat/rhel-5-i386/postgresql-8.4devel_20090310-1PGDG.rhel5.src.rpm

You can build them in your platform, and as Scott said, install them,
backup old data and then update to RC1.
