rpm -ivh compat-postgresql-libs... --replacefiles

This will replace the files. Then try removing postgresql-libs. Now you should be able to remove it, since libpq that apr-util is looking for is already satisfied.

The package repository at http://yum.pgsqlrpms.org will solve these problems after you fix the compat rpm issue.
