Most likely you had a different version of the glibc or ICU libraries
on the new system, which lead to your indexes on collatable datatypes
partially corrupted. See https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Collations
for more details.
You can issue a REINDEX for each impacted index, or a database-wide REINDEX.
