Re: BUG #16351: PostgreSQL closing connection during requests with segmentation fault

I did, but I'm unable to do so. The wiki asks me to enable debug packages
as described here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash
I then found the postgresql-10-dbg package here:
https://www.ubuntuupdates.org/package/postgresql/trusty-pgdg/main/base/postgresql-10-dbg
However, when I try to install it I get the following error:

ubuntu(at)vm:~$ sudo apt-get install postgresql-10-dbg
Reading package lists... Done

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-10-dbg : Depends: postgresql-10 (= 10.8-1.pgdg14.04+1) but
10.12-0ubuntu0.18.04.1 is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

I can't make a lot of sense of that, since: postgresql-10 is already the
newest version (10.12-0ubuntu0.18.04.1).
It might just be me not being very knowledgeable with Linux, but the
instructions to install all of this and finally get a stack trace are not
clear to me at all.
I would really like to get to the bottom of this since the database is now
also closing connections with my data collection services in the middle of
transactions.

About your question about the version: 10.12 is the first and only version
I have installed. When I installed it about a month ago, this was the
newest version, at least from the instructions that I looked at.
Should I try to upgrade to 12.x?

Best regards,
Johannes
