Could be worse. What you'll need to do is look through the
pg_largeobject catalog for duplicated (loid, pageno) values, and
manually DELETE the redundant rows, or else reassign them new OIDs
if you want to keep the data.
A tip for issuing the removal commands is to use the CTID column to
distinguish otherwise-identical rows, ie you could do something
like
select ctid, loid, pageno from pg_largeobject
where (loid, pageno) in (select loid, pageno from pg_largeobject
group by 1, 2 having count(*) > 1);
... examine results ...
delete from pg_largeobject where ctid = '...';
I believe you'll need to do any direct DELETE or UPDATE on the
catalog as superuser.
