more fun with 7.3.4 RPMs

This time it's on RH8.

The distributed RPMs complain thus:

[root@alphonso andrew]# rpm --test -Uhv postgresql-*7.3.4-1PGDG.*.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:       perl(Pg) is needed by postgresql-contrib-7.3.4-1PGDG
[root@alphonso andrew]#

Strangely enough, I look for it and see this:

[root@alphonso andrew]# rpm -q --whatprovides 'perl(Pg)'
postgresql-perl-7.2.3-5.80
[root@alphonso andrew]#

Anyone got any good ideas about remedies? (I tried rebuilding from the 
src RPM but got the same result)

cheers

andrew

It's the wrong version.

Install with --nodeps, and then install the current Pg module from 
gborg.postgresql.org.  I'm still waiting for someone to step up to the plate 
and maintain RPM's for the parts of PostgreSQL that were removed from the 
main tarball, such as perl.  The python client will likewise need a RPM 
maintainer for 7.4 (IIRC; I saw something about the python client being 
removed a couple of weeks ago).

I think it's the Rserv contrib module that's throwing the dependency into the 
build.

If people can wait a little, I'll try to do it before 7.4 release.  (note: no 
beta RPMs yet).
