Allow choosing between Oracle and Postgres RPMs
Problem to solve
At the moment our CTA binaries can work with either Oracle or Postgres client support.
It only needs one of the following RPMs to be installed:
- cta-lib-catalogue-occi
- cta-lib-catalogue-postgres
This was achieved with the following merge request:
However, it seems that if we try to install a CTA RPM, it will automatically try to install both dependencies.
There is no clear way on how to install only one of them when using yum/dnf.

[...]Steps to reproduce
Follow the CTA installation steps on:
See that installing cta-frontend will always try to install the following 2 RPMs:
- cta-lib-catalogue-occi
- cta-lib-catalogue-postgres

Proposal
Find a way to make the choice between installing cta-lib-catalogue-occi, cta-lib-catalogue-postgres or both simpler.
