I'm not sure if CentOS is caught up, but postgresql 8.4.7 is available
for RHEL5 from Red Hat --- it's called "postgresql84". Possibly you'd
have better luck with that than with Devrim's RPMs.

It seems to be trying to update a 32-bit version of postgresql-devel:

If you have that installed, you probably need to remove it before you
can install a 64-bit version, quite aside from any version differences.
-devel packages typically are not multilib safe.
