The perl-DBD-Pg package. The version of this package installed is not
given -- and that would be critical, here, as there are a number of
versions to choose from, according to rpmfind. The version likely to be
used would be perl-DBD-pg-0.91-2, which was built by RedHat for the CPAN
archives -- and the dependency list for this package is:
Provides:
perl-DBD-Pg
Pg.so
Requires:
perl
ld-linux.so.2
libc.so.6
libpq.so.2.0
Only a Connectiva Linux perl-DBD-Pg RPM is being built (according to
rpmfind.net, at least) against PostgreSQL 7 as of yet -- this would be
perl-DBD-Pg-0.93-7cl. But I would think there would be more of a
problem with Perl 5.6 versus 5.005 than any other issue.
Symlink libpq.so.2.0 to libpq.so.2.1.
This is the problem I have referred to in the past that causes problems
with PHP RPM's as well.
Or, if DBD::Pg was built from source on the previous machine, and
binaries simply moved over, that would also cause this.
And I'm working on my end of the fix -- copying libpq.so.2.x to
libpq.so.2 instead of symlinking. But this will only help future
packages that are built against PostgreSQL RPM's after I do that.
