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

What does:

dpkg -l | grep postgres

show?

No, you pasted all the below in your previous post. I just cut out a 
bunch in my reply to make it more readable.

In case you did not see all my previous post, I asked :

Your installation has not completed successfully.

iU  postgresql 10+191.pgdg14.04+1  --- the letter "U" means the package
has only been un-packed.

iF  postgresql-10   10.4-2.pgdg14.04+1  -- the letter "F" means the
package is only half-configured.


HTH,
Robert

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.

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.
