Edit the init script directly (I'm using FC3). I would back up this init
script and then freshen the rpm to re-generate it with your most current
information.

There's a not about this inside the init script that may be more helpful.
"An old version of the database format was found.\nYou need to upgrade the
data format before using PostgreSQL.\nSee
$SYSDOCDIR/postgresql-$PGVERSION/README.rpm-dist for more information."

My sysdocdir is /usr/share/doc/

"These RPMs no longer support any sort of upgrading process other than that
documented in the regular documentation.  That is, you must dump, upgrade,
initdb, and restore your data."
