yum remove postgresql-*
yum reinstall postgresql95*

will do the trick. Please note that the second one will restart the database,
so make sure that you run these in a maintenance period.

The first command will remove all OS PostgreSQL packages. This is a required
step to remove actual binaries from OS. The second command will reinstall the
packages, and they will create alternatives entries for the binaries, etc.
