It may happen only if 9.2 is installed via Red Hat RPMs. Otherwise, 9.6 will be
the selected by default for many binaries. If that is your case, you need to:

* Stop 9.2
* Uninstall 9.2 RPMs
* Install 9.2 from PGDG
* Start 9.2
* Stop 9.6
* Reinstall 9.6 (so that the binaries are fixed)
* Start 9.6

These are the binaries that defaults to the higher version when there are more
than 1 major version are installed:

psql
clusterdb
createdb
createlang
createuser
dropdb
droplang
dropuser
pg_basebackup
pg_dump
pg_dumpall
pg_restore
reindexdb
vacuumdb

Yes, you check update-alternatives command.
