no and no.

i'm the only admin the colo box has ever had, and it is solidly still at rh
7.1.

i never symlinked libpq.so.2 at any point in time. when i upgraded
postgres, i observed my exim install failing, so i rebuilt that. i never
saw any other problems related to the library version change on the 7.1
box.

where the question is this -- given that the box is running 7.3.2
successfully and needs to be running 7.3.x (that is, i won't downgrade it),
will installing 7.2 pgsql-libs break stuff?
