Description:

Hi,

I have an extension which contains an event trigger. As expected, CREATE
EXTENSION adds a pg_depend entry between the trigger and the extension. But
after running pg_upgrade, this pg_depend entry is gone (and the extension's
CREATE EVENT TRIGGER statement now shows up in the pg_dump output, causing
the restore to fail with an "event trigger already exists" error).

Reproduced for 9.5->9.6 and 9.6->10 upgrades with the attached script.

Did I miss something, or is this a bug? If so, is an ALTER EXTENSION ... ADD
EVENT TRIGGER command on the upgraded database enough to work around it? It
solves my issue, but I'm not sure if there are other symptoms.

Thanks,
Nick Barnes
