Logged by:          Milos Urbanek
Email address:      milos.urbanek@email.cz
PostgreSQL version: 9.6.2
Operating system:   Windows
Description:

As repoted in https://trac.osgeo.org/postgis/ticket/3727

If there is some newline in e.g. foreign key contraint, the second command
below fails:

pg_restore -l test.backup > test.backup.lst

pg_restore -L test.backup.lst > test2.out

With error like:

pg_restore: [archiver] could not find entry for ID 6

Hm.  As of a year or two back, we sanitize object names in the comments
printed in the restore script, eg after

d1=# create table p (f1 int primary key);
CREATE TABLE
d1=# create table f (f1 int);
CREATE TABLE
d1=# alter table f add constraint "weird
d1"# name" foreign key (f1) references p;
ALTER TABLE

the dump output will look like

--
-- Name: f weird name; Type: FK CONSTRAINT; Schema: public; Owner: postgres
--

ALTER TABLE ONLY f
    ADD CONSTRAINT "weird
name" FOREIGN KEY (f1) REFERENCES p(f1);

However, pg_restore -l didn't get the memo:

2985; 0 46746 TABLE DATA public p postgres
2862; 2606 46750 CONSTRAINT public p p_pkey postgres
2863; 2606 46754 FK CONSTRAINT public f weird
name postgres

and in turn that breaks -L for such cases.  I think we need to transpose
the sanitization to also happen in these code paths.

Perhaps this should have been treated as a security issue, but the
cat's out of the bag now.  I think automated workflows involving -l
are pretty rare anyway.
