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
Andrew, Yes, pg_config is present but pointing to the wrong directory: # /usr/lib/postgresql/10.3/bin/pg_config --sharedir /usr/share/postgresql-10.2 However, the file dates are that of the upgrade from 10.2 to 10.3: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 7096448 Mar 1 2018 postgres* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 Mar 1 2018 postmaster -> postgres* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 514732 Mar 1 2018 psql* and the postgres version is 10.3:
Also what is the output of /usr/lib/postgresql/10.3/bin/postgres -V
# /usr/lib/postgresql/10.3/bin/postgres -V postgres (PostgreSQL) 10.3
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.
Can pg_config be corrected independent of anything else. That seems to be where the blockage is found. Thanks, Rich
