 yum list |grep postgres-server does NOT return anything.   yum --nogpgcheck localinstall cloudera-manager-server-db-2-5.8.0-1.cm580.p0.40.el6.x86_64.rpm   gives me the exact same error.   FYI that I got the cloudera files (including repodata) from the following locations: http://archive.cloudera.com/cm5/repo-as-tarball/5.8.0/   And to have embeded postgresql db installed, my understanding is that i don't have to install any other external db separately.   Thanks much for looking into the issue      ...
