Hello.
I am trying install postgresql 10.4 on Ubuntu 14.05 server (x64).
On Ubuntu i installed only ssh service for remote access.
I am trying install it via Apt Repository
(https://www.postgresql.org/download/linux/ubuntu/
<https://www.postgresql.org/download/linux/ubuntu/&gt;).
I did:

sudo sh -c 'echo "debhttp://apt.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt/
<http://apt.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt/&gt; $(lsb_release -cs)-pgdg main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pgdg.list'

sudo apt-get install wget ca-certificates
wget --quiet -O -https://www.postgresql.org/media/keys/ACCC4CF8.asc
<https://www.postgresql.org/media/keys/ACCC4CF8.asc&gt; | sudo apt-key add -
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install postgresql-10

and get some errors:

  Package postgresql-10 is not configured yet.

dpkg: error processing package postgresql (--configure):

dependency problems - leaving unconfigured

Processing triggers for libc-bin (2.19-0ubuntu6.14) ...

No apport report written because the error message indicates its a
followup error from a previous failure.

  Errors were encountered while processing:

postgresql-10

postgresql

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

thanks for any reponse.

Best guess, cross contamination with the Ubuntu package(s) for Postgres.

What does:

dpkg -l | grep postgres

show?

Purge the existing packages and try installing again.

Just dawned on me that you are running 14.05 not 14.04 and that the
packages you installed are for 14.04.

Per here:

https://www.postgresql.org/download/linux/ubuntu/

only the LTS versions are officially supported. You might want to try
installing the 16.04 version on the theory it is more likely to be
backwards compatible then the 14.04 being forward compatible.

thanks

Robert

Did it already few times per few weeks. And google didn't help :)
that's because i am here. (i even try installer from here:
https://www.enterprisedb.com/downloads/postgres-postgresql-downloads, but
with the same result - server can't start.)
Anyway thanks for suggestion.

Will try it.

If that does no work you can always install from source:

https://www.postgresql.org/ftp/source/v10.4/

That will require installing dev packages though.

Thanks.

ok. looks like problem solved, but anyway i wanna share a solution (thanks
a lot Adrian one more time).
I downloadad archived ubuntu iso (
http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/14.04.0/ - i picked the last one:
"64bit-PC (AMD64) server install image.". Reinstalled server.

follow instructions on https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Apt

got:
Success. You can now start the database server using:

/usr/lib/postgresql/10/bin/pg_ctl -D /var/lib/postgresql/10/main -l

PS (offtopic): One thing i can't understand - after installation this
release shows: Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS. My problematic installation also was
Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS (i make mistake when say it is "14.05"). same versions
are different? its leagal?

Yes, it is a point release:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_version_history#Ubuntu_14.04_LTS_(Trusty_Tahr)

If that does no work you can always install from source:

https://www.postgresql.org/ftp/source/v10.4/
<https://www.postgresql.org/ftp/source/v10.4/&gt;

That will require installing dev packages though.
