ok. looks like problem solved, but anyway i wanna share a solution (thanks
a lot Adrian one more time).
I downloadad archived ubuntu iso (
http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/14.04.0/ - i picked the last one:
"64bit-PC (AMD64) server install image.". Reinstalled server.

follow instructions on https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Apt

got:
Success. You can now start the database server using:

/usr/lib/postgresql/10/bin/pg_ctl -D /var/lib/postgresql/10/main -l
logfile start

thanks Adrian, rob and pgsql-general!!!

PS (offtopic): One thing i can't understand - after installation this
release shows: Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS. My problematic installation also was
Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS (i make mistake when say it is "14.05"). same versions
are different? its leagal?
