Thanks guys:

Required by:
kde-3.5.1
koffice-1.4.2_3,1
php5-extensions-1.0
php5-pgsql-5.1.2_1
postgresql-libpqxx-2.5.5

I wanted to use it with php5, so i guess forcing an uninstall would bork 
my php5 support?
Since the server port installs the pgsql script (i assume???) i should 
probably just go with the older version?
Thanks again
