That might not have been a very good idea. You're really not meant to go
messing with the catalog unless you *really* know what you are doing.
It sounds like you have a very badly messed up catalog. You will need to
find a way to dump your database so you can drop it, re-create it and
reload it.

Your best chance is to do a pg_dump of each table, one by one, using the
"--table" option. Find out which table or tables are failing.
Once you know that, post here with the table definition, the exact
error, and the output of "select * from pg_class" and "select * from
pg_type". Somebody might be able to help you if there's enough information.
Alternately, you might be able to extract the data from the problem
table(s) using the \copy command from psql. Then you can re-create them
in the new database and re-load their contents with \copy .
