For the record, apart from the aforementioned bug, I can
confirm that pg_upgrade will work fine when pg_trgm is
relocated to another schema (I chose "pgtrgm").
Caveats:
1)
One can't use "pg_trgm" as the schema name - PG will tell us
that the pg_ prefix is reserved for system schemata.
2)
One can't (easily ?) use
alter extension ... set schema ...
to relocate pg_trgm from pg_catalog to some other schema
because PG will inform us that pg_catalog is a system catalog:
gnumed_v21=# alter extension pg_trgm set schema pg_catalog;
ALTER EXTENSION
gnumed_v21=# alter extension pg_trgm set schema pgtrgm;
ERROR: cannot remove dependency on schema pg_catalog because it is a
system object
gnumed_v21=#
Relocating from pg_catalog requires a
drop extension ... cascade
create extension ... with schema
cycle, followed by recreating GIN indexes as needed (in my case).
