Stupid mistake: Forgot to dump when upgrading. (7.3 -> 7.4.2)

From
Jón Ragnarsson
Date:
I upgraded Postgres on my computer and forgot to dump the data. (Yes,
very stupid) And now 7.4.2 refuses to read the datafiles. Is there
anything that I can do?
Maybe I should ask people over at redhat/fedora if I could downgrade
Postgres?

Try re-installing PostgreSQL, dumping it, then re-installing the new
version.
