*In keeping with what Tom advised, the SQL to do that would be"UPDATE
pg_shdepend SET refobjid = {oid_of_new_owner} WHERE refobjid = {oid_of
old_owner} AND deptype = 'o';*

*However, as Scott suggested, there should definitely be an ALTER statement
to change the owner of the extension *

*and that does the work required.*

*IE: ALTER EXTENSION name OWNER TO new_owner;*

*Perhaps in Version 10 or 11?*
