What does this command say exactly ?

Code:

rpm -qa | grep postgres

[idriss@localhost ~]$ rpm -qa | grep postgresql

postgresql-server-8.3.8-2.fc10.i386
postgresql-8.3.8-2.fc10.i386
postgresql-libs-8.3.8-2.fc10.i386

Thanks a lot :-) it was necessary to uninstalling postgresql-server before uninstallig postgresql
Now after re-installing it can work

[root@localhost idriss]# su postgres
bash-3.2$
