Then you updated your sources, recompiled and reinstalled, but failed to
restart the server when you did that. Else it would have complained on
the spot.

If you had any valuable data in the installation, we could talk about how
to get it out; but since you didn't I'd suggest just re-initdb and move
on. I don't see anything unexpected here.
