>The funky things is we build for pure stock release and CentOS 6 has only postgresql 8.4.4

Maybe you missed the OPs query about the libpq.so.4 dep? Not sure what provides that? I
saw that in a recent build, looks like its resolved now as it correctly requires libpq.so.5.

Uhm, when you `yum update` you often get the new package installed alongside the old one,
as well as when you attempt to simply remove the packages, the scripts section has issues
and leaves you no choice but to remove with a --noscripts. I think you need to review your
postun's at a minimum.

Are the init scripts getting left behind no an uninstall ok?

Actually I did and it went unanswered?

I don’t object to that, and I do appreciate the effort but for people without devel environments
and or the knowledge and infrastructure to test all this, the packages in a broken state cause
more harm than good, no?

I guess it's not the line count specifically, but how the spec file is written, have look at them
side by side...

Sigh, the packages have factual errors, the bad lib dep recently, the broken postun's, do you
not see this as an issue? I don’t not trust it just for the fun of it? Which part specifically is fud?

5.2.3 is upstreams stable production release, it is somewhat misleading for a user to then see
5.2.3 rpms that are only devel level builds when hunting for something to install, but I guess
by the factory def you are right...
