 change default privilegesCommand was: ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES FOR ROLE "=

Well, you aren't going to be able to do that if you're not superuser.

You could undo that ALTER in the source database and re-make the dump,
or edit the dump script to remove this command, or not use
pg_restore's "-1" switch and just ignore this error.
