What I suspect has happened is that:
- you have 10.4 installed
- you have 9.5 *client only* (as a result of upgrade or manual removal
of the server package)
Examine /usr/lib/postgresql/, you will probably see a 9.5 and 10
directory (but the 9.5 one probably won't have a postgres binary).
If you set PATH to have /usr/lib/postgresql/10/bin in front of
everything else then you will get you 10.4 binaries. However this is a
bit of a pain - I think you can make life simpler by using
'update-alternatives' to make postgres version 10 the default instead of
9.5 - or remove all the 9.5 packages (*but* if removing be careful that
you really don't have any 9.5 databases under /var/lib/postgresql/9.5
first...otherwise you will be reaching for your backups - at this point
I should ask you do have backups right)?
So perhaps do a bit more investigation, and report back here before
removing anything :-)
