hi,

Why is pg_restore trying to put stuff into the pg_catalog schema of all
places?

It's ignoring the schema specified in the pg_dump itself (`myschema`)
and even my search_path (`public`).

$ psql stuff_development --command "show search_path"
  search_path
-------------
  public
(1 row)
$ pg_restore --list stuff.pg_dump

pg_restore: [archiver (db)] could not execute query: ERROR:  permission

DETAIL:  System catalog modifications are currently disallowed.
     Command was: CREATE TABLE stuff_one (

);

Thank you!
