Why my vacuum fails?

Greetings,

    I'm trying to do a vacuum and it's not working very well. Could you
please tell me what can I do?

  The main problems appears to be related with "Cannot insert a duplicate
key into unique index pg_attribute_relid_attnum_index" message. How can I
fix it?

Thanks a lot.

What platform are you running on, and how did you build or acquire the
executables?  Have you ever run the regression tests?

This looks a lot like known portability problems on PPC, Alpha, etc.
There are workarounds but you need to know about them when building...

Linux RedHat 6.0 running on a K6-2.
I installed using RPM packages and it's PostgreSQL 7.0.2.

Nop, I never did a regression test. Is it necessary?

New fail in vacuum?

Greetings again Tom and pgsql-general users,

I found another error. This time is when I execute vacuumdb. Why vacuum
stops at this point? Should it just create indexes and keep executing?

Well, so much for my theory that it was an fmgr portability problem.

I don't know how your indexes got so messed up, but at this point I'd
recommend a dump/initdb/reload to get things straightened out.  While
you are at it, it'd be a good idea to update to 7.0.3.

7.0.2 was really bad news for us.  The absolute latest version of
7.0.3 has been working perfectly for months.
