Usually the reason for this is that you inserted some rows with manually
assigned serial numbers (perhaps a COPY from an old version of the
table?) and forgot to advance the sequence past those numbers.  Try
something like

SELECT setval('pn_categories_category_cat_id_seq',
              (SELECT MAX(cat_id) + 1 FROM pn_categories_category));
