That seems like a remarkably strange definition of a primary key. Are all of those columns really identification of an object, and not properties of the object?
In any case, I'll bet a lot of money that your can't-update problem is related to the fuzzy behavior of floating-point columns. Just because a float8 value prints out as "1.2345" doesn't mean that it'll be considered equal to a value you write as "1.2345". If this fact astonishes you, you should likely switch to type numeric.

Dear Tom, you can bet all your money because you are right.
I drop the table and re-created using numeric instead double precision.
Now everything is ok, I can update every row of the table.
