Aug 16, 2010 at 3:36 comment added David Roberts This is very late, but I hope it gives some insight. One could cook up anafunctors without pseudoinverses, if instead of all surjections one uses a Grothedieck pretopology J on Set which has as covers surjections from some restricted class. I'm thinking of the example of surjections with finite fibres. If p:X->Y is a surjection with infinite fibres with no projective cover P->Y in J for which p admits a section, the anafunctor Y<-C(X) = C(X) has no pseudoinverse. Here C(X) is the groupoid with object set X and arrow set X\times_Y X, with the obvious structure.
