Best thing to do is explicitly remove the existing RPMS:

# rpm -q -a | grep '^postgresql' | xargs rpm -e

Then do 'rpm -U' (without --force, you shouldn't need it).

What is happening is that '-U' isn't removing 'postgresql-python'
(since you're not upgrading it) but it depends on the main postgresql
RPM which is being upgraded.

You could also just remove the 'postgresql-python' package and then do
'-U'.
