Basically.

The truth is Sarlav, that any pg_dump version before the new 8.0 version
is likely to have errors restoring.  You should restore the dump like this:

psql -f dump.sql database

And then when you get errors, you will see the line number of the error.
  Then you can edit the dump to fix it.
