Thread: RPMs - minor problem

Hi,

I've just updated my RedHat 8.0 test system with the new Postgres 7.3-2
RPMs

There seems to be a minor inconsistency with postrgesql-pl-7.3...

This appears to be a replacement for the previous postgresql-perl
package - but as the name is different, RPM doesn't recognise it as
such.

Having removed the old one & installed this, one of the other new RPMs
(contrib, I think) complains that postgresql-perl is not installed.


It's not a problem for me, but it could affect (or cause confusion) with
other packages that rely on postgresql-perl


Regards,

Robert Jenkins,

Actually, it's a replacement for postgresql-plperl...

Urgh.  I thought I fixed that....I'll have to check into it.

There will be a postgresql-perl package released soon -- it's now standalone.
