Re: Error Uninstalling 7.2.2 on Mandrake 9.0

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(at)localhost data]# rpm -e libecpg3
[root(at)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(at)localhost data]# rpm -ivh --nodeps php-pgsql-4.2.3-1mdk.rpm

Hope this helps

Joe
