I've just turned the setting in pg_hba.conf from md5 back to peer and
reloaded the server so that it now reads as:
local all postgres peer
Attempting to log in fails with the following error on the console:
psql: FATAL: Peer authentication failed for user "postgres"
Thanks for the suggestion for checking the logs. My apologies for not
checking that. The logs show:
2013-10-16 16:21:16 BST template1 LOG: local user with ID <abc> does not exist
2013-10-16 16:21:16 BST template1 FATAL: Peer authentication failed for user "postgres"
However /etc/passwd has
postgres:x:<abc>:<def>:PostgreSQL administrator,,,:/db:/bin/bash
I do not have an ident server running and never have had as far as I
recall.

Thanks very much. Removing /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/apt.postgresql.org.gpg
fixed the problem I was experiencing.
Thanks very much
