Upgrade from 7.4 -> 8.0.1 - problem with dump/restore

From

Hi folks;

Trying to move from 7.4.1 to 8.0.1

All goes well until I try to reload after installation.

Dump was done with the 8.0.1 pg_dumpall program

On restore, I get thousands of errors on the console, and of course the
data doesn't end up back in the system.

The only two "non-standard" things about my 7.4.1 DBMS is that I do have
significant amonuts of binary data stored in the dbms itself, and in
addition I have "tsearch" loaded.

Any ideas?

Please show the commands you ran and examples of some of the errors --
without knowing more we have no way of figuring out what's wrong.

Are you using tsearch, or tsearch2?  README.tsearch says that as
of 7.4, tsearch is deprecated in favor of tsearch2.  Did you install
the 8.0.1 version of whatever module you're using?

PS: The binary data is in a "BYTEA" field, not a BLOB.  It looks ok in the
dump file.
