Thread: upgrading in RH 8

Are there known issues and how do I get around installing the PostGreSQL
7.4.3 binaries on RH 8?

I tried installing it and it needed dependencies. So I got the
dependencies, which included OpenSSL, but it wouldn't let me update
OpenSSL because the current version is needed for other programs.

It also says postgresql = 7.2.2 is needed by postgresql-server, so it
won't overwrite it.

I tried yum and got an error, "identical dependency errors"

You might be best advised to get the source RPM (SRPM) and rebuild it
locally to produce binaries tailored to your machine.

I was going to suggest this:
http://www.fedoralegacy.org/

but they just dropped 7.3 and 8 support.
