Installing Fedora 15 hosed my db...
Yesterday I upgraded from fedora 14 to fedora 15...
The install process sorta trashed my 8.4 db...here is
what I have:
postgresql-server-9.0.4-1.fc15.i686
postgresql-pltcl-8.4.4-1PGDG.fc12.i386
postgresql-docs-8.4.4-1PGDG.fc12.i386
postgresql-libs-9.0.4-1.fc15.i686
postgresql-contrib-8.4.4-1PGDG.fc12.i386
postgresql-9.0.4-1.fc15.i686
postgresql-plpython-8.4.4-1PGDG.fc12.i386
postgresql-devel-8.4.4-1PGDG.fc12.i386
I have a couple of other machines that that contain the
db so I could do a pg_dumpall to get something to stuff
into my db at the appropriate time.
I would like to upgrade to 9.0.4...
I could not find the contrib module for 9.0.4 module in yumex. I really
need the dbink tool to keep the dbs on my machines up to date.
Any suggestions on how I can cleanup the mess I created *and* get
a complete 9.0.4 installation?
Thanks,
Jerry

Well, you could
(1) remove all the PGDG RPMs,
(2) install the regular Fedora postgresql RPMs,
including postgresql-upgrade
(3) run "service postgresql upgrade"
(I haven't actually tested postgresql-upgrade in the context of
upgrading from 8.4 PGDG RPMs instead of the regular Fedora ones, but
in theory it should work. As always, a filesystem backup of your
database is a good thing to have in case of disaster.)

Oh snap!
I had excluded postgresql from the fedora repo because I had been using
pgdg repo.
When I enabled postgresql in the repo all of the missing rpms magically
appeared in the yumex update section :0
