Hi, The RPM isn’t actually looking at the file but at the file specs of all available RPM’s. You need to install and rpm that provides the binary /usr/bin/psql in it’s metadata. You could build an metadata-only-rpm that depends on all the postgresql-9.x-stuff and provides the necessary files in it’s metadata and secretly creates symlinks underneath.

I take it this means that the error message I'm getting isn't telling me the truth about what the real error is.

I'm attempting an install of spacewalk 2.2 using postgresql-9.3. I installed and manually configured postgresql. When I attempt to install spacewalk I get this error: yum install spacewalk-postgresql ... many dependencies resolved ... etc ... Error: Package: spacewalk-postgresql-2.2.2-1.el6.noarch (spacewalk) Requires: /usr/bin/psql However there is clearly something there: [root ~]# ll /usr/bin/psql lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 28 Jul 21 12:35 /usr/bin/psql -> /etc/alternatives/pgsql-psql [root ~]# ll /etc/alternatives/pgsql-psql lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 23 Jul 21 12:35 /etc/alternatives/pgsql-psql -> /usr/pgsql-9.3/bin/psql [root ~]# ll /usr/pgsql-9.3/bin/psql -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 447560 Mar 18 03:19 /usr/pgsql-9.3/bin/psql What is this package expecting to find there? Is a symbolic link not good enough? Can I fake it out by copying over the real binary or changing the link to point directly to the binary instead of an intermediate link?
