Bug reference:      6532
Logged by:          Stuart Bishop

PostgreSQL version: 9.1.3
Operating system:   Ubuntu
Description:=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20

The 9.1.3 changelog states pg_upgrade's handing of plpython stored
procedures was fixed, but that does not appear to be the case:

postgres@aargh:~$ /usr/lib/postgresql/9.1/bin/pg_upgrade --version
pg_upgrade (PostgreSQL) 9.1.3
postgres@aargh:~$ /usr/lib/postgresql/9.1/bin/pg_upgrade=20

| If pg_upgrade fails after this point, you must
| re-initdb the new cluster before continuing.
| You will also need to remove the ".old" suffix
| from 8.4/main/global/pg_control.old.
