(Gary sent me the dump off-list.)

Ah, did you dump the database from an existing 8.2 installation? There's
clauses in there to create Postgres 8.2 contrib/tsearch2 types and
functions, which are no longer needed beacuse full-text search is now a
core feature. I removed them by hand, and after that it works.

We desperately need a migration guide for existing contrib/tsearch2
users... Andy and Tom just put together a script to help with that:

Can you try that to see if it works? I also had to modify the two CREATE
TABLE statements that contained a "public.tsvector" column; it's just
"tsvector" now since it's now a built-in type. I'm not good at perl, but
I believe the script doesn't do that yet. Note that you have to make a
dump with pg_dump -Fc or -Ft option, the one you posted doesn't work
with the script.
