I agree, I did not realize that the yum repository I setup was still
the development version, and that minor upgrades would render data
directory incompatible. My bad.
All in all, I want to thank you all for quick responses, and for
keeping PG software moving along. I've been using PG for

Hi,

Even if you did this upgrade from sources, it would still be broken.
PostgreSQL does not guarantee not to change on-disk data structure
between development snapshots.
I sort of agree with both sides of the issue - i

Thanks all for your help. I installed from the RPM, found the sources
(although it wasn't obvious), rebuilt the identical version that i had
before and I am up and running.
Still, I consider automatic yum updates for Postgres fundamentally
broken, if they invalidate your database directory
OP: Downgrade to your original version, then do a pg_dump.I'm not sure the
yum command to do this, but there must be some. To be version specific you
can look at the PG_VERSION file in your data directory.

Dear PostgreSQL admins and gurus,
I always knew that installing Postgres using Yum/RPM/etc is a very bad
idea, but decided to try it on one my boxes that runs local wiki/Trac.
I added /etc/yum.repos.d/pgdg-84-centos.repo to my yum configuration
and installed PostgreSQL version 8.4devel_2009
