This is the nuke it and restart approach to postgreql problems..

sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade -y

Now run this, you HAVE to run these together or it will not work:

rm -rf /var/lib/dpkg/info/postgresql* && dpkg --configure -a

You then need to run this to upgrade the package again

sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade -y
