The table is used by hundred of clients so I don't know exactly the sequence
of
command that was causing the problem; the only think that I can say is that
I use
the table ua_user_data_exp like a "materialized view" so are only trigger on
other
tables that are modifing the table.
Here your request:

db=# \d ua_user_data_exp

I had one row duplicated with the same login and the same id_user,
was failing was the update of that row complaining about the duplicated
key.
