Only because libpq versioning has always been an afterthought in the upstream
release process. The RPMset has worked around this in the past by providing
fake previous versions; but it is just an ugly workaround of broken upstream
behavior. This is not a new issue, unfortunately.
That is, symlinks were provided to the new version of the library that
masqueraded as previous versions, but weren't really previous versions. That
can cause it's own broken behavior.
