Up until really recently (read: not yet shipped for Red Hat, and I'm not sure about the PGDG RPMs), the 8.0 RPMs had the wrong Obsoletes: data in them for replacing rh-postgresql RPMs with later postgresql RPMs. So I'd definitely suggest removing *all* the rh-postgresql RPMs before you try to install newer stuff. It wasn't real clear whether that was the sum total of your problem however...
Virgin install of RH ES 3.0 from cd's (no update run right now)
It wouldn't be a bad idea to do "up2date" first. For all you know you are fighting a bug in RPM itself.

Tom,
It looks like it is a specific problem with the 8.0.2 rpms. Below is what I wrote about trying the 8.0.1 rpms.
Ok, I thought I'd try the 8.0.1 rpms just for giggles. I was able to install the postgresql-libs rpm for 8.0.1 with out a problem. It looks like there is a bug in the 8.0.2 if you are installing from scratch. Can someone please point me to the proper place to log this bug.
(sorry for the delay in response, I had some mail problems with my isp)
Chris
