Nothing else was changed other than the binaries. It appears that the prior version obtained postgresql.conf from the PGDATA path whilst the 9.6.2-2 looked in the Postgres /etc paths where it tried to use the conf file, and as a consequence, the autovacuum daemon was not started. I removed the Postgres /etc conf file and as it didn't find one there, fell back to the PGDATA path and all is well. > That is packaging dependent.
