So you are using the deb packages. The above is for the Postgres 9.3
cluster, where is the data from the Postgres 9.2 cluster?

So was this done before the upgrade, during, after?
I am just not seeing the connection to the error you reported.

What was the exact command you used.

That is not possible as you found out. When doing an upgrade between
major versions(see note below) in Postgres you either have to dump the
data from the older version and restore it to the new version or you
need to use pg_upgrade.

*NOTE* Up to Postgres version 9.6.x a major version change was a change
in either of the first two numbers. Starting with the next release
(10.x) only the first number is a major version.


At this point you should have two Postgres clusters on you machine,
Something like:

/var/lib/postgresql/9.2/main/

/var/lib/postgresql/9.3/main/

Is this correct?
