The PGDG (PostgreSQL Dev Group) RPM set for 7.1 is organized differently
from the RedHat set for 7.0. But one thing that seems you're missing is
the option to put more than one rpm file on the command line, avoiding
problems with the order of operation.

Try:
rpm -Fvh postgresql*7.1.2*rpm

-F (Freshen) rather than -U updates only packages that are already
installed.

Hope it helps.
