interesting. i just upgraded postgresql on a rh 8.0 system from rpms, using
the -Fvh options, without it complaining or locking up.

yes, i did have to reinitialize the database, but i was expecting that.

only hitch was a change in the name of the package supplying perl
integration. i did have to do an erase and new install for that one.
