duh! i'd done one too many cut-and-paste's. the function
definition wound up AFTER its first invocation in my source sql,
so naturally it got clobbered in the redefinition...

    create view ... select fn() as ... ;
    drop function fn(); -- hello? is this thing on?
    create function fn() ...;

sometimes it just takes a public post to bring the humility back
home. thanks!

DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #114 from D & E Radel <radel@inet.net.nz>
:
Installing gnome-apt (although a little buggy) is A GREAT WAY TO
FIND OUT WHAT PACKAGES ARE AVAILABLE and install/remove them
with ease!
  Newbie tip: Also I discovered that
    apt-get remove [packagename]
works much better when there are dependancy problems than
    dpkg -r [packagename]
