About 2 months ago I upgraded from PostgreSQL 9.3 to 9.4. I left both directory trees intact in case I needed to go back to an older database or table. The upgrade worked and I have my PostgreSQL 9.4 server working without error.

However, ever since that upgrade I started getting complaints during apt operations about the postgreSQL components. Note, these error messages occur when I do apt operations that have nothing to do with PostgreSQL. The only thing I can surmise is that certain apt operations do some kind of global scan on your installed packages.

I lived with the error messages for many weeks since I couldn't figure out how to get rid of them and they didn't affect my daily operations. However, now it seems they are, if they are what is causing my current troubles in installing new packages.

I recently trade to install umake so I could run Visual Code. However, after the usual PostgreSQL package complaints, I get an error coude for umake as well, so I can't install it.

Below is a dump of a recent umake apt install attempt. Can anyone tell me how to fix this?
