1: Is postgres-7.1-1 RPM newer than postgres-7.1RC1 RPM?
Posted by Jit Kiat Tan on 04/17/01 01:13 PM
I am running postgres-7.1RC1 on Redhat 7.0. I got the following error
trying to upgrade the RPMs. Is 7.1-1 older than 7.1RC1 ?!

[root@sg src]# rpm -U postgresql-libs-7.1-1.i386.rpm postgresql-7.1-
1.i386.rpm postgresql-tcl-7.1-1.i386.rpm postgresql-tk-7.1-1.i386.rpm
postgresql-server-7.1-1.i386.rpm
error: postgresql-7.1-1.i386.rpm cannot be installed
error: postgresql-tk-7.1-1.i386.rpm cannot be installed
error: postgresql-server-7.1-1.i386.rpm cannot be installed
package postgresql-libs-7.1RC1-1 (which is newer than postgresql-libs-
7.1-1) is already installed
package postgresql-tcl-7.1RC1-1 (which is newer than postgresql-tcl-
7.1-1) is already installed

BTW, upgrade from 7.0.3 to 7.1RC1 breaks some of the db queries
(union of multiple selects) but it works fine after conversion to use
pg new outer join feature.

Yes, 7.1 final is newer the 7.1RC1 RPM.

Yes, we know about the queries, they're fixed in the CVS tree (at least the ones we know about) and will be in the upcoming 3.2.5 release which Roberto's busy working on right now.
