I am using postgres 10 on the server where I create the dump
and 10.1 where i try to restore.
however,  the box where I try to restore uses
root(at)lappi:/home/robert/odoo_instances# pg_restore -V
pg_restore (PostgreSQL) 9.5.10

when I check with :
root(at)lappi:/home/robert/odoo_instances# apt-cache policy postgresql-client
postgresql-client:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 10+189.pgdg17.04+1

and when I try to reinstall
apt install postgresql-client-common
i get a message, that it is already the newest version.

ah, now I see something:$which pg_restore points to:
 /usr/bin/pg_restore -> ../share/postgresql-common/pg_wrapper

what is this pg_wrapper??

thanks
