That's probably an indication that you forgot to delete a function that
takes or returns an older custom type that you deleted.

Look in pg_proc for a function containing 457690 in proargtypes or
prorettype, and delete that tuple (or tuples if more than one).

pg_dump oughta be more helpful about where it sees the problem...
