YUM and/or RPM install problem

[jfmays]

Got a machine running postgres 9.1.2. I need to downgrade it to 9.0.5 to match a cluster. Problem is YUM (RPM) keeps claiming to be unable to import a key, even though the key is right there where it should be.

The contents of /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/ --
drwxr-xr-x. 10 root root 4096 Oct 29 2011 ..
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 1726 Sep 26 2011 RPM-GPG-KEY-PGDG-90

Here is what happens when I try to reinstall.

[root@postgres-02 ~]# yum reinstall pgdg-redhat90-9.0-5.noarch.rpm
Loaded plugins: product-id, subscription-manager

But nothing has happened, the nothings has been changed or installed, postgres is still postgres 9.1.2.

yum remove first...

check yum repolist then yum install from remi

By your post, you've already addressed the most common problem of not being root. This may help:

The last post in the thread says that there seems to be a bug in that if the key exists that the import will fail and the answer was to delete the key which allows the process to work. I found that by using the search terms "rpm import key 1 import failed" and that was the first of several hits, which may have other suggestions if that doesn't work.

Remove Postgres 9.1.2 and install Postgres 9.0.5 from RHEL DVD or Use Redhat Network to rollback
