pg_dump fails to set index ownership - Mailing list pgsql-bugs

PostgreSQL 8.0.0rc4

pg_dump fails to set ownership on indexes.  When a database superuser
restores a dump, indexes will be owned by the superuser instead of
by the table's owner.  The table owner will then be unable to drop
or alter the index.

Here's how to reproduce:

createuser -Upostgres -PAD testuser
createdb -Upostgres test
psql -Utestuser test
CREATE TABLE foo (id serial PRIMARY KEY, name text);
CREATE INDEX foo_name_idx ON foo (name);
\q
pg_dump -Upostgres test > test.sql
dropdb -Upostgres test
createdb -Upostgres test
psql -Upostgres test < test.sql
psql -Utestuser test
\di
                List of relations
 Schema |     Name     | Type  |  Owner   | Table
--------+--------------+-------+----------+-------
 public | foo_name_idx | index | postgres | foo
 public | foo_pkey     | index | postgres | foo
(2 rows)

DROP index foo_name_idx;
ERROR:  must be owner of relation foo_name_idx
