This thread belongs on the pg_reorg mailing list, so I am moving it there.

Well, that error message comes from the must_be_superuser() check
failing inside the reorg_trigger() function. I am wondering how you
got into this state: in order to have installed the pg_reorg.sql
package, you must have been a superuser. Did you manually change the
owner of the reorg.reorg_trigger() function to a non-superuser? Or
perhaps the user you used to load pg_reorg.sql into your database
*was* a superuser at the time, but is no longer? You can check with:
  \df+ reorg.reorg_trigger()

and then check whether the owner of that function is in fact a superuser.

Do you still get the error when you insert a row into
"affected_table"? If not, and you don't see the z_reorg_trigger on
your "affected_table", I guess pg_reorg bailed out during processing
this table and dropped the trigger as part of its cleanup.

What do you mean "this belonged to pg_reorg" -- you mean the owner of
the reorg_trigger() function is pg_reorg? As noted above, the owner of
this function must be a superuser, as should be the case when you
install pg_reorg.sql into your database.

(Side note not actually related to this problem: we should really add
a check like must_be_superuser()  in the client binary, so that the
client errors out right away if it is not connected as a superuser.
Otherwise, it may plow through the trigger initialization and other
steps depending on what exact permissions the user has.)
