Right, gotcha. I think this may be the issue:
[root(at)dev2 8.x]# rpm -ql postgresql-libs-8.0.3-1PGDG
[snip]
/usr/lib/libecpg_compat.so.2
[snip]

[root(at)dev2 8.x]# ldd /usr/lib/libecpg_compat.so.2
libecpg.so.4 => /usr/lib/libecpg.so.4 (0x007ba000)
libpgtypes.so.1 => /usr/lib/libpgtypes.so.1 (0x00e0e000)
libpq.so.3 => /usr/lib/libpq.so.3 (0x00efa000)

[root(at)dev2 8.x]# rpm -q --whatprovides /usr/lib/libpq.so.3
compat-postgresql-libs-3-3PGDG

Including /usr/lib/libecpg_compat.so.2 in postgresql-libs-8.0.3-1PGDG causes
automatic dependency
(http://www.rpm.org/max-rpm/s1-rpm-depend-auto-depend.html) on those .so
files which are only included in compat RPM.
