Hi for the sake of answering here :
https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/48a32f45-57f2-4560-ae94-3488b3568c8a%40cloud.gatewaynet.com
(although I didn't find anything indicating any hope for any change
regarding my deadlock), it seems I am unable to binary upgrade from
18beta1 to 18beta3 the traditional easy way between minor releases.
After : make install , it gives

postgres(at)smadevnu:~ % pg_ctl -D data restart

Examine the log output.

Is the catalog version indeed different between 18beta1 and 18beta3 ?
