I'm too lazy to check the source code right now, but I'm pretty sure that pg_available_extension_versions is mostly driven off what control files exist in the on-disk libdir. But that may have little to do with what's in the system catalogs. You should have checked pg_extension, or just "\dx" in psql. regards, tom lane
