A couple of weeks back OGL's Postgres installation

made a dump of the database before that happened, but it seems to have
been in a slightly inconsistent state - key constraints broken in some
places, probably due to me removing enormous swathes of spam in a
rather brutal fashion. As a result, I can't currently restore it. I
tried commenting out the restraints in question in the dump before the
restore (which let it happen), and then locating and deleting the
errant nodes, but I obviously wasn't doing something right.
Could someone with more knowledge in this department please help me
out? I'm happy to give you a copy of the dump to test.
I'm no expert, but drop me a copy of the dump and let me know what
version of postgres you're trying to restore to, and I'll have a play.
