Thanks. I added the 17.04 PGDG repository:
deb http://apt.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt/ zesty-pgdg main
and postgresql-10 and friends installed ok. But later installing
a different package:

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
postgresql-autodoc : Depends: libdbd-pg-perl but it is not going
to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

further,

# apt-get install libdbd-pg-perl
[... same message as from ansible except: ]
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libdbd-pg-perl : Depends: perlapi-5.24.1 but it is not installable
# apt-get install perlapi

As I said, I am new to Ubuntu packaging so whether the problem
is something I need to research elsewhere and fix, or if it is
an actual problem with the PGDG repository, is not clear to me.

(Yes, I realize
https://www.postgresql.org/download/linux/ubuntu/
says only LTS releases of Ubuntu are "fully" supported, but if
it just takes a minor fix to make things work with 17.10...)
