Are sure that what you're speaking of is a deadlock? Or is it just a
stalled transaction while one one transaction waits for another to
complete?
A true deadlock means that two transactions are stalled waiting for the
other to complete, and neither ever can complete, and they are
DEADlocked.
If you've just got a problem where an update is stalling all the other
transactions, then give us a test case / example code of what's
happening.
If you've got a real deadlock that postgresql isn't catching, that's a
much more serious problem.
