error: markets_pk is an index

From

I tried to post this to the slony1-general list, but it bounced. :-(

Setup:

slony replication of some tables in a DB, but not all.  When I try to drop one
of the non-replicated tables on the slave, I receive the following:

DROP TABLE summary_target ;
ERROR:  "markets_pk" is an index

The summary_target table is not replicated, but the markets table is
replicated.  The summary_target table has the following fkeys:

mps=# begin;
BEGIN
mps=# drop trigger _mpscluster_denyaccess_29 ON markets;
DROP TRIGGER
mps=# ALTER TABLE summary_target DROP CONSTRAINT markets_summary_target_fk;
ERROR:  "markets_pk" is an index


I grepped through the source and it looks like this is a problem with a grant.
So I thought maybe it's a problem with the foreign key that relates to the
markets table, since the markets table is replicated and has a no access
trigger on it...so I tried deleting it.

  drop trigger _mpscluster_denyaccess_29 ON markets;
DROP TRIGGER
  DROP TABLE summary_target ;
ERROR:  "markets_pk" is an index

Still the same problem.  Also the same problem if I attempt to drop any of the
foreign key constraints on summary_target:

  drop trigger _mpscluster_denyaccess_29 ON markets;
DROP TRIGGER
  ALTER TABLE summary_target DROP CONSTRAINT markets_summary_target_fk; ERROR:
"markets_pk" is an index

Suggestions as to what I can do to remove this non subscribed table from the
slave?
