According to the man page:
       postgresql-dump  -  a  utility to dump and destroy a Post­
       greSQL database when the database format becomes incompat­
       ible with a previous version.

What I wanted to do is use pg_dumpall was to backup the database. I
see now that if I cd to /usr/lib/postgresql/bin it works.

Thanks for your reply.
