Well, you shouldn't have tried to send it to the list; there's no need to memorialize half a megabyte of transient data in the archives. After digging through this, I figured out the problem: you'd installed pg_trgm into the pg_catalog schema, whereas when I was testing I'd just dropped it into the public schema. That confuses pg_dump into not emitting the shell type that it should emit. It's an easy fix now that I see the problem. This bug does *not*, AFAICT, explain any problem you might have with "dump" transfers, only with pg_upgrade. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
