Is there a pg_config binary in /usr/lib/postgresql/10.3/bin/ and if so, what is the output of /usr/lib/postgresql/10.3/bin/pg_config --sharedir Also what is the output of /usr/lib/postgresql/10.3/bin/postgres -V The most plausible explanation I can see for what you're seeing there is that what you have as /usr/lib/postgresql/10.3/bin/postgres is not actually the 10.3 binary but rather the 10.2 one. There should be no symlinks involved there - the path that is reported in the error message is the one that the postgres binary actually did try to open. -- Andrew (irc:RhodiumToad)
