Probably more on my side. I use Reply All and that tells me it will not
post back to a newsgroup address, so unless the -general address is the
From: or Cc: it is just going back to you directly From: me only. I just
CCed the list back in to get the thread back in front of more eyes.

Looks like forward compatibility issues, your 17.10 does not have the
newer versions of files needed by the 18.04 Postgres packages and it
will not install them as they probably would break other programs in
17.10. If it does not work going forward maybe it will work going
backward, see if you have any better luck using the 16.04(Xenial) repo.
