Hello Joe,

I do see above postgresql-libs is being pulled in, however I do not 
believe this is a IUS package being pulled from RHEL 5 x86_64 channels 
(we label all our packages as .ius), you can check our repo and will 
notice no postgresql-libs packages available:

   http://dl.iuscommunity.org/pub/ius/stable/Redhat/5/x86_64/

Is it possible there is not a x86_64 package of postgrelsql-libs 
available in your repos? can you run the below commands:

  # yum repolist

  # yum info postgresql-libs

Thanks
