recently I have found several tables has exactly the same pkey, here is the definition:
"diggcontent_data_account_pkey" PRIMARY KEY, btree (thing_id, key)


the data is like this:

159292 | funnypics_link_point | 41 | num 159292 | funnypics_link_point | 40 | num


I could not even update this record.

really confused about how could this happen... thanks!

I know one scenario this can happen on Linux. In my case, it was caused by a "rsync"... instead copy to a different location, script was copying pg_xlog over own pg_xlog.

I did this stupidity once, and learned for a life time. Lost two hours of work to recover everything (from backup, at least I had one).

Be careful with rsync and cp, since Linux does not block files from being overwriten even when they are in use.

Edson.
