Yes. You will need a Postgres database to store Bucardo's internal
information, and of course one or more additional database that will be
involved in the additional replication. When you do the initial

bucardo_ctl install

it will prompt you for the location of a database to install Bucardo on.
Note that this can be on a remote host, but it's generally easier to
keep the program and database together.

Someday soon, 'yum remove bucardo' :)

For now, you can do a 'make uninstall' from the Bucardo installation
directory. It will show you a list of files to be removed. You can
remove the Bucardo database itself with a DROP DATABASE bucardo;
