Thanks heaps Tom,

I can confirm corrupt db upgrades fine with pg_dump. Was wondering if
there are any plans to add a --no-validate to pg_upgrade, since the
crash seems only to happen during validation.

Hmm, so I am still unclear on this. The 'corrupt' database is the one you upgraded away from or to? If to I am not sure you have solved anything. For the sake of discussion I am assuming you did a pg_dump on the 9.2 instance and a restore on the 9.3 instance. Is this correct?


Cheers
Sam

Come up ?

It's hard to explain that as anything except corrupted system catalogs
in your existing database :-(.  If you were really lucky, reindexing
pg_operator would fix it; but since pg_operator is usually pretty static,
it seems unlikely that it suffered index corruption.

Any way to work around this?

Rather than relying on pg_upgrade, you could try using pg_dump(all)
to extract the data.  With some luck, pg_dump wouldn't be affected by
whatever has happened to the pg_operator catalog.
