Tom Lane 182db07040 Fix test about ignoring extension dependencies during extension scripts. 
Commit 08dd23cec introduced an exception to the rule that extension member
objects can only be dropped as part of dropping the whole extension,
intending to allow such drops while running the extension's own creation or
update scripts.  However, the exception was only applied at the outermost
recursion level, because it was modeled on a pre-existing check to ignore
dependencies on objects listed in pendingObjects.  Bug #14434 from Philippe
Beaudoin shows that this is inadequate: in some cases we can reach an
extension member object by recursion from another one.  (The bug concerns
the serial-sequence case; I'm not sure if there are other cases, but there
might well be.)

To fix, revert 08dd23cec's changes to findDependentObjects() and instead
apply the creating_extension exception regardless of stack level.

Having seen this example, I'm a bit suspicious that the pendingObjects
logic is also wrong and such cases should likewise be allowed at any
recursion level.  However, changing that would interact in subtle ways
with the recursion logic (at least it would need to be moved to after the
recursing-from check).  Given that the code's been like that a long time,
I'll refrain from touching it without a clear example showing it's wrong.

Back-patch to all active branches.  In HEAD and 9.6, where suitable
test infrastructure exists, add a regression test case based on the
bug report.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	http://www.postgresql.org/download

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
http://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
