Can't restore due to corrupt indexes (with some clues on how to deal with corrupt indexes)

Installation

Thanks Gerhard! I appreciate your help. This one is just getting stranger and stranger.

It doesn’t make sense to me that there was a problem with incoming_referers to me either. I’ve done a restore from production to this staging site as recently as October.

It seems like there’s something wrong with the database or the indexes. I suspected a plugin, but the errors are in enough different indexes that it seems improbable that a single plugin might be to blame. An earlier grep through plugins for the broken index issues came up empty.

One restore I got this:

[2020-01-03 16:25:30] ERROR:  could not create unique index "index_plugin_store_rows_on_plugin_name_and_key"

I did:

[10] pry(main)> PluginStoreRow.where(plugin_name: 'discourse-data-explorer',key: 'q:-8').destroy_all

And tried again:

[2020-01-03 16:49:16] ERROR:  could not create unique index "index_tags_on_lower_name"
[2020-01-03 16:49:16] DETAIL:  Key (lower(name::text))=(addins) is duplicated.

Here’s the full head of the latest restore:
