This looks like a problem with the postgis_tiger_geocoder extension.
It's depending on the fuzzystrmatch extension (which has the soundex
function), but seemingly this dependency is not declared in the
extension's control file.  If it were, the search path would've been
set to include the schema of the fuzzystrmatch extension during
CREATE EXTENSION.
