I'm using Ubuntu Budgie 17.10 64bit.
When trying to install PostgreSQL 9.6 by EDB installer, and it fails on post-install step:
Below is that part of the log file, where something went wrong.
Initialising the database cluster (this may take a few minutes)...
Executing /opt/PostgreSQL/9.6/installer/server/initcluster.sh "postgres" "postgres" "/opt/PostgreSQL/9.6" "/opt/PostgreSQL/9.6/data" 5432 ru_UA.utf8
Script exit code: 1
Script output:
Failed to initialise the database cluster with initdb
Script stderr:

Problem running post-install step. Installation may not complete correctly
The database cluster initialisation failed.
Notes:
- installer was launched with
rootprivileges (it raises an error on startup if not). - after installation fail,
/opt/PostgreSQL/9.6directory exists.
How to complete cluster initialization without EDB installer? How to fix installer? What is the proper way to report EDB installer issues?
