Huh, odd, that'd normally work, I think.

Do a full purge of the package and then reinstall it?  I could maybe see
an issue if you didn't purge it due to the leftover symlinks in /etc...
You could also try doing a manual pg_createcluster, possibly with a
pg_dropcluster before it to make sure everything gets cleaned out.

        Enjoy,
