Most probably your errors are caused by dependencies between the
packages; as someone else already suggested, try to write the command
as:

rpm -Uvh --test postgresql-8.2.9... postgresql-server...

etc. In that way all the dependencies should be addressed.

If that does not solve the problem, post the error message.
