Hi,
The RPM isn=92t actually looking at the file but at the file specs of all a=
vailable RPM=92s. You need to install and rpm that provides the binary /usr=
/bin/psql in it=92s metadata. You could build an metadata-only-rpm that dep=
ends on all the postgresql-9.x-stuff and provides the necessary files in it=
=92s metadata and secretly creates symlinks underneath.
Met vriendelijke groet,

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 -> /us=
r/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?
