[CentOS] relation "pg_user" does not exist error when running pg_dump

[Andy Masiar]

Thank you for your replies.

First of all, this is not a new centos install, it has been running
quite reliably for some time until now. All posgresql packages are
stock centos and SELinux is disabled.

Also, my application is working fine, I can run queries against the
database. I get the error only when I'm trying to perform a backup to
move the data to another server. I can't init the db, I would lose my
data. I have backups from about 2 weeks ago but it would suck to have
to revert to them :-(

Andy
