I have an Ubuntu system running what claims to be:

root@smallserver:/usr/local/archiveopteryx3/bin# ./aox show build
Archiveopteryx version 3.1.3, http://www.archiveopteryx.org/3.1.3
Built on May  1 2011 16:54:19
Build source: oryx.git/v3.1.3

on postgresql 9.0, from Ubuntu repository.

And, I have a shiny new FreeBSD 9.1 system with postgresql 9.2.2, from ports.

So, I dump the db from the old server and restore it onto the new one.

I get a couple of issues - there are commands that relate to to 'postgres' which isn't installed by the port (which installs pgsql) - and is easily fixed by defining the role - but the other is baffling.

I get:

psql:archiveopteryx.backup:1316974: ERROR: could not create unique index "addresses_nld_key" DETAIL: Key (name, localpart, lower(domain))=(0amamacint, alert, date.com) is duplicated.

Now I can understand getting an error like this when messing around normally using DML, but this is a backup and the index only exists because the original PostgreSQL thought it did. :-(

Is this a difference in lower(domain) behaviour between the older Ubuntu and the newer FreeBSD UTF8? Any hint on how to fix?

The database is created as:

CREATE DATABASE archiveopteryx
  WITH OWNER = aoxsuper
       ENCODING = 'UTF8'
       TABLESPACE = pg_default
       LC_COLLATE = 'en_GB.UTF-8'
       LC_CTYPE = 'en_GB.UTF-8'
       CONNECTION LIMIT = -1;

(which fails on the latest Win32 build of PostgreSQL on my Win7 64 bit system, which is a bit annoying - it doesn't seem to like the locale, but that's another matter. Inconvenient, though.)
