Uh, that will most definitely NOT work. You've installed some other
database's list of table columns. If you can't resurrect the original
pg_attribute file for this database (did you look in /lost+found?)
then I think you are well and truly screwed :-(. Time to revert to
backup, because there is no hope of extracting anything useful.
