I've discovered the hard way that I can't take a pg_dump file from my Ubuntu home machine (which has Postgresql 8.2 and PostGIS 1.2.1) and import it on my Debian Etch colo box (which has Postgresql 8.1 and PostGIS 1.1.6). I can't say I'm surprised by that, especially after all the trouble I had getting anything to work using the owner of the database rather than the postgres user (aside: it might be nice if the manual had some mention of using "grant" on the two geometry tables to make that work).

I thought I might try the documented "hard upgrade" procedure to see if it will do what is in essence a downgrade. But neither the "postgis" nor the "postgresql-8.1-postgis" Debian packages seems to have installed the documented utils/postgis_restore.pl program. Does anybody here know if it's in a different package, or can I just pull it from subversion?
