a full dump with pg_dumpall the DB was restored with a line like :
psql -d dbname -f dump.sql

Others may want to take note, this tool does not include the declaration

in the general data area. \db+ reports tablespace is defined, but it's
just empty. If you have a CREATE TABLESPACE with LOCATION in your full
dump, you should add it back into the extracted result for a single DB.
