Hi.

The above messages tell me PostgreSQL is refusing to authenticate the
user here.  There is really very little room for the upgrade script to
cause an issue like this.  Is it possible the passwords expired?  You
can test this temporarily by setting authentication (on a test db) to
trust, and logging in, though I don't recommend this on a production
server.

The upgrade scripts in no way touch the user, and the auth routines
have been unchanged since 1.3.0, and so the cause must be elsewhere.
I will be happy to troubleshoot with you over IRC

Best Wishes,
