Comment (by jeevanchalke):

 > I don't quite understand the second comment though, unless the relation
 "public.spatial_ref_sys" does not exist error happens because they tried
 to dump the spatial_ref_sys data before the spatial_ref_sys table was
 created.

 NO. We were trying to dump data as soon as the table was created. However,
 due to the lack of dependency, the geography type is dumped first before
 the public.spatial_ref_sys table structure. And this issue gets resolved
 by adding a dependency entry.
