Bug reference: 16732
Logged by: Zsolt Ero

PostgreSQL version: 12.4
Operating system: Ubuntu 16.04
Description:
On a production server (12.4) backups are created by the following
command:
pg_dump --dbname=app --format=custom --file=$BACKUP_DIR/app.dump
Then on any other machine (can be the same server, can be a my macOS laptop
running 12.5), this command always fails (or it'd fail with
--single-transaction):
pg_restore --dbname=maphub_web --format=custom $BACKUP_FILE
The error is always:
pg_restore: while PROCESSING TOC:
pg_restore: from TOC entry 2976; 0 63529 TABLE DATA map_versions app
pg_restore: error: COPY failed for table "map_versions": ERROR: insert or
update on table "map_versions" violates foreign key constraint
"fk_map_versions_map_id_maps"
DETAIL: Key (map_id)=(112664) is not present in table "maps".
The target database is cleaned with dropdb + createdb before pg_restore. I
compared the backups by md5, the file is not-corrupt.
This is quite shocking in a way, meaning that right now I couldn't restore
my prod server in case I'd need to.
