Something is very broken there. I wonder if this error could be a
corrupted reference to "pg_catalog" --- but I don't really see what
the details could be, because we don't store schema references as
textual names, rather OIDs. Your follow-on errors also look more
like catalog corruption than anything sane. With only these limited
factoids to look at, it's impossible to say just what's going on
--- but creating bogus objects in response to these errors is
unlikely to get you anywhere. What PG version is this, what's
the installation's history, have you suffered any catastrophic
failures in the recent past?
