I'm trying to install subversion with yum and it tries to also install postgresql-libs as a dependency. The problem is that it tries to install a version that is older than the one I have installed and them complains: Transaction Check Error: package postgresql-libs-8.2.4-1PGDG (which is newer than postgresql-libs-8.1.9-1.fc6) is already installed If it knows there is a newer version why he tries to install an older one? How to fix it? I tried to exclude postgresql-libs but them it complains about a missing lib.
The postgresql-libs package that you have already installed is a third party package. Packages that are in Fedora and require postgresql-libs would be built against and depend on the version that is in the Fedora repository.
You have to either remove the third party package you have installed and install the Fedora repository package or build subversion against the package you already have installed from elsewhere.
