Well, this actually "works". This means "libpq provided by PostgreSQL 9.1
RPMs", for example, and prevents users to be able to install PostgreSQL < 9.0:
=========================================
Requires: libpq.so >= 9.0
Available: postgresql-libs-8.4.20-6.el6.i686 (base)
libpq.so = 8.4.20-6.el6
You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem.

Then, they would need to generate RPMs for each PostgreSQL version just for
this piece, and it creates other problems.
