If it where me I would simplify the above for the moment to :

Tried on a fresh Ubuntu-17.10 install (with no postgresql at all installed)
but similar problem persists with the postgresql from the pgdg bionic repo:
# apt-get install postgresql-10

Is there any reason now not to conclude that the 10.3 bionic version is
simply incompatible with Ubuntu-17.10 (at least without a lot more package
wrangling chops than I have)?
One can install postgresql-10.1 but one cannot upgrade it to get security
fixes or to be able to load data dumped from another 10.3 database.
Given that Ubuntu-18.04 will be out soon I guess this is pretty much moot
except for a few unfortunates like me who absolutely need 10.3 but have no
option to upgrade. I guess the lesson is that running the Pgdg versions
of Postgresql on any but the LTS versions of Ubuntu is pretty risky.
Live and learn. Maybe this will help someone else.
