I included it above but here it is again:

Not functional at the moment, I was experimenting with trying to
remove and reinstall various packages.  But I am doing this on a VM,
not my development machine where the real database to be upgraded
is.

Whether it was fully functional after the upgrade I can't say for sure
but the server restarted ok with no unusual messages and I could connect
to it with pgsql.  But both continued to report their versions as 10.1.

After removing the main postgresql packages and reinstalling I got
some version conflicts which led to my to trying doing a clean install
of Ubuntu-17.10 followed by an install of postgresql-10 from the pgdg
bionic (rather than zesty) repo.  It failed as described in a separate
post.
