Re: Upgrade

Thank you very much.
I copied all rpms in /root/pg and proceeded as root.

[root(at)localhost pg]# rpm -U --force postgresql*
error: failed dependencies:
mx is needed by postgresql-python-7.1.3-1PGDG

I don't need python, so I remove it:

[root(at)localhost pg]# rm postgresql-python-7.1.3-1PGDG.i386.rpm
rm: remove `postgresql-python-7.1.3-1PGDG.i386.rpm'? y
[root(at)localhost pg]# rpm -U --force postgresql*
error: failed dependencies:
postgresql = 7.0.3 is needed by postgresql-python-7.0.3-8

Same without --force.

What would you suggest :-) Thanks in advance.
