Ok, do the following steps:
rpm -e --nodeps --noscripts -- force postgresql-server postgresql-test
postgresql
What is happening is that, since the uninstall scripts for server are
not completing, the server uninstall is failing -- producing the results
you have seen.
Once you have verified with rpm -qa|grep postgres that there are no more
postgresql RPM's on your system, then you will need to clean out the old
6.5.3 data directory (rm -rf /var/lib/pgsql).
Now you should be able to install the new RPMset.
