You have to build query in different way:

psql ... -A -t -c "SELECT 'ALTER TABLE sales DROP CONSTRAINT ' ||
conname || ';' FROM pg_constraint JOIN pg_class ON
(conrelid=pg_class.oid) WHERE pg_class.relname='sales' AND conkey[1] =
1 AND contype='f'"

Finally, you can save it in to file or pipe it to another psql:
psql ... -A -t -c '....' | psql ...
