Well, maybe you had better explain the history of this database a bit
better.  It seems like you've got a subset of the tablefunc functions
installed; how did that come to be?  And how did the adminpack functions
get in there?  Checking the archives, the reason we didn't bother with
an "unpackaged" upgrade path for adminpack is that it's always installed
its functions into the pg_catalog schema, meaning pg_dump wouldn't dump
them, so they should not have been there after an upgrade.
