i have similar problem - can't make dumps of any db with the same error message

think, only user 'postgres' is duplicated:

template1=> select * from pg_catalog.pg_shadow where usename = 'postgres';
usename  | usesysid | usecreatedb | usesuper | usecatupd |               passwd 
               | valuntil | useconfig

               |          |

md5c084502ed11efa9d3d96d29717a5e555 |          |
(2 rows)

What PG version are you using exactly?  Could we see the system columns
for those rows, ie,

        select ctid,xmin,xmax,cmin,xmax,* from pg_shadow where usename = 
'postgres';

                        regards, tom lane
I'm using exactly PostgreSQL 7.3.9 on i686-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by GCC gcc (GCC) 3.4.2 20041017 (Red Hat 3.4.2-6.fc3) :]

If it helps:

postgres=> select ctid,xmin,xmax,cmin,xmax,* from pg_shadow where usename = 'postgres'; ctid | xmin | xmax | cmin | xmax | usename | usesysid | usecreatedb | usesuper | usecatupd | passwd | valuntil | useconfig
--------+------------+-------+-------+-------+----------+----------+-------------+----------+-----------+-------------------------------------+----------+-----------
(0,1) | 1 | 50469 | 50469 | 50469 | postgres | 1 | t | t | t | | | (1,25) | 2559800612 | 0 | 0 | 0 | postgres | 1 | t | t | t | md5c084502ed11efa9d3d96d29717a5e555 | |
(2 rows)


If U have any ideas or more questions please write. Like I said, my deadline is near :[ Now i'm thinking about writing a script to backup all data and schemas from all dbs by myself and reinstallin PG... but it is a lot of work and i cant check if i did everything right for sure :(

Greetings,
Bartek
