This replacement of packages is totally safe (everyone who uses

To all respondents on this topic whose time and commentary I do appreciate,
as well as the SL Fermilab/CERN support/porting/development team:
Supposedly, SL6x is kept "current". I seem to find the necessary packages
on RHEL6 as displayed in this thread, but these do not seem available on
SL6x, despite RHEL6 being "Linux / open source / GPL source licensed". Are
these packages proprietary or not allowed in he USA (in the latter case, the
CERN EU repository should have these)?
If one needs repo for SL6 from
http://yum.postgresql.org/repopackages.php#pg93, why is this dependency not
made clear? I am not complaining about the merry chase -- having
experienced this many times before due to packaging inconsistencies -- but
this is a massive waste of time, and even more so if I assign a research
student to this sort of thing (I do not have any postdoctoral fellows at
this time).
One does not "need" that repo. You were interested in functionality
beyond what was provided by distribution; in these cases, especially for
desktop functionaly, using latest version (SL7 in this case) is *highly*
recommended. So, if you don't want to use latest version, you need some
other workaround - I offered you the one I know about. I'm sure there
are other ways of getting libevent 2, it's just that postgresql repos
are the way I tested myself. But it doesn't mean that there is problem
with SL6 packages per se.
I know other examples of desktop software which you simply won't be able
to build or run on SL6 due to gcc or gtk/qt version requirements, for
example, but it doesn't mean anything as well. Due to many reasons EL is
better suited for server than desktop, it can be used for desktop but
with its release and support cycle it usually gets a bit too stale for
running newest desktop software eventually; which is why for desktop I'd
recommend updating to latest release as soon as you can afford it.
Thus, latest desktop needs (like firefox+flash player 16 in this case)
either require SL7 or various tricks and add-on repos if you're trying
to make it work on SL6. This is expected. Like I said, there is some
desktop software which you can't even run on SL6 at this point.
This is NOT a question of support; it is a question of just how much of RHEL
(TUV that evidently now is allowed to be mentioned rather than hidden) is
reflected in SL (or for that matter CentOS that is a wholly owned/controlled
subsidiary of Red Hat).

I also tried yum update libevent as well as yum install libevent
libevent-devel libevent-headers -- the same dependency issues appeared.
Because I need the KDE development environment, I cannot yum erase
libevent and then attempt to install libevent using the postgres repo
unless all of the KDE items also will be reinstalled and will be
compatible with my existing system (e.g., do I need to reinstall all of
EL 6 KDE -- I do NOT want KDE Plasma). Further suggestions?
