Error Uninstalling 7.2.2 on Mandrake 9.0

From

Hello

I am running into an error while attempting to uninstall 7.2.2 from my
machine. The reason I am uninstalling is because I want to use the latest
7.3 version. Anyhow Im issuing the 'rpm -e postgresql' command to attempt to
uninstall. This is what I see:


[root@localhost data]# rpm -e postgresql
error: removing these packages would break dependencies:
   postgresql = 7.2.2-1mdk is needed by libecpg3-7.2.2-1mdk
   postgresql = 7.2.2-1mdk is needed by libpgsqlodbc0-7.2.2-1mdk
   postgresql = 7.2.2-1mdk is needed by libpgperl-7.2.2-1mdk
   postgresql = 7.2.2-1mdk is needed by postgresql-devel-7.2.2-1mdk
   postgresql = 7.2.2-1mdk is needed by postgresql-python-7.2.2-1mdk
   postgresql = 7.2.2-1mdk is needed by postgresql-server-7.2.2-1mdk
   postgresql >= 7.1.3 is needed by php-pgsql-4.2.3-1mdk
**********************************************************

I made sure the postmaster wasnt up and running. Is there a solution to this
error?

Thanks

Israel

Hi,

This is rpm complaining that other packages depend on postgresql
7.2.2-1mdk

Easiest solution is to remove all of those other packages:

[root@localhost data]# rpm -e libecpg3
[root@localhost data]# rpm -e libpgsqlodbc0
etc...

If you then install 7.3, it should be ok. you might need to reinstall
php-pgsql afterwards using something like

[root@localhost data]# rpm -ivh --nodeps php-pgsql-4.2.3-1mdk.rpm

Hope this helps

Joe

These are dependencies.
It is not an error.
The package can't be deinstalled because other packages rely on it.
You have to remove the listed packages too.
Otherwise dont remove 7.2, instead 'upgrade' to 7.3 I think it was -U,
but I'm not sure because I switched from Mandrake to Debian a while ago.
