Thread: BUG #16137: pg_upgrade fails with an index over nesting function

The following bug has been logged on the website:

Bug reference:      16137
Logged by:          Alexander Lakhin
Email address:      exclusion@gmail.com
PostgreSQL version: 12.1
Operating system:   Ubuntu 18.04
Description:

The following simple script:
CREATE TABLE test(i INT PRIMARY KEY);
CREATE FUNCTION func2(i INT) RETURNS INT IMMUTABLE LANGUAGE SQL
    AS 'SELECT $1';
CREATE FUNCTION func1(c INT) RETURNS INT IMMUTABLE LANGUAGE SQL
    AS 'SELECT func2($1)';
CREATE INDEX ON test(func1(i));

makes pg_upgrade choke on the database:

Consult the last few lines of "pg_upgrade_dump_12717.log" for
the probable cause of the failure.

This function is unreliable for lack of schema qualification.

I tend to agree that it'd be nice if pg_upgrade wouldn't be
so picky about that, but we haven't really found a way that
doesn't create security issues (cf CVE-2018-1058).
