RedHat RPM install errors - advice needed

Greetings,

I installed postgresql-7.0.3-2 from rpms on a new machine.  The
postgresql-server installation gave me the following:

root@www148 /home/deckard/databases> rpm -ivh
postgresql-server-7.0.3-2.i386.rpm
postgresql-server         ##################################################
/sbin/ldconfig: warning: can't open var/tmp/rpm-tmp.4657 (Not a directory),skipping
/sbin/ldconfig: warning: can't open 1 (No such file or directory), skipping


I've installed these rpms on other machines of similar configurations (two
dual p3's, 512MB RAM, RH6.2).

The server starts up properly, however, I'm concerned that these error
messages nevertheless need to be rectified.

Thanks in advance.

Corrected in the 7.1beta RPMs already, but thanks for the report.

Is there something to be concerned about and what do these messages indicate?

It indicates that I erroneously had the %post script piped through
/sbin/ldconfig -- which is a harmless, but unproductive, thing to do.
