Hi,

I am trying to run yum update on my CentOS 5.2 box and keep getting this message:

Missing Dependency: libossp-uuid.so.15 is needed by package postgresql-contrib

I ran yum update postgresql separately and now it's 8.3.8. I also downloaded uuid-1.6.2 and built it from source, but I still get the same result.

yum update -d6 uuid gives me this at the end:

How can I resolve this situation? Thanks
