What this says is that you somehow have a pg 10.3 binary which has been
compiled with ./configure --datadir=/usr/share/postgresql-10.2

which seems, to say the least, somewhat odd.

pg_config isn't used by the postgres binary to find paths, so "fixing"
it wouldn't help. The same paths that were compiled into pg_config are
compiled into the postgres binary, and pg_config and postgres contain
the same relocation logic.
