Looking through PGAdmin where would I find the spatial references that the
errror message references?

The GIS feature was removed from the PostgreSQL application before the
project dump.
Not sure what you mean by that - you removed all GIS related types and
functions from the source database?
Anyone have any thoughts on how to get around this??
Remove the constraint if you no longer have that requirement. It looks
like you have a primary-key defined on spatial_ref_sys and want to remove
it. See the SQL Reference section of the manuals for how to use ALTER
TABLE to drop primary keys and other constraints.
I'm curious as to how this can happen though. Are the definitions of table
spatial_ref_sys the same in the source and target database?
