Andrew,

Quite odd rather than somewhat odd because the configure options in the
build script point to version 10.3, not 10.2.

Okay.

I'll check with the SlackBuilds.org postgresql package maintainer and
confirm that re-building and re-installing 10.3 will not adversely affect
the data/ directory. Then I'll re-build and re-install it.

Why it worked flawlessly until today when I modified the postgresql.conf
file to add access by another host name and then broke is also quite odd.

Thanks,
