I just tried to update my Postgresql installation on from 13 on an Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS node and it fails due to the postgresql-common package post installation script.
Any help on this would be appreciated.
The following NEW packages will be installed:
postgresql-client-common postgresql-common
The following packages will be upgraded:
libpq5 percona-patroni percona-pg-stat-monitor13 percona-pgbackrest percona-postgresql-13 percona-postgresql-13-pgaudit percona-postgresql-13-repack percona-postgresql-client-13 percona-postgresql-client-common

Should postgresql-common pkg also get installed as it shows?
Other than that additional package it looks like there are no errors and the postgresql.service appears to be operational.

Update:
One correction, which is pretty significant, the postgresql.service is not operational and the postgres logs show the server isn’t starting anymore.

As for youe logs seems the main issue is:
Can't open PID file /run/postgresql/13-main.pid (yet?) after start: Operation not permitted
So please check if file exists and it’s permissions

I don’t see it.
I wonder if the issue has to do with this which happens during the update process:
The following NEW packages will be installed:
