+
+    <para>
+     In synchronous replication setup, a deadlock can happen, if the transaction
+     has locked [user] catalog tables exclusively. This is because logical decoding of
+     transactions can lock catalog tables to access them. To avoid this users
+     must refrain from taking an exclusive lock on [user] catalog tables. This can
+     happen in the following ways:

+       <para>
+        Issuing an explicit <command>LOCK</command> on <structname>pg_class</structname>
