I ran into an issue migrating from 9.1 to 9.3 on ubuntu using pg_upgrade

the default ubuntu package, and the one from postgresql.org, both store 
`postgresql.conf` in etc as `/etc/postgresql/VERSION/main/postgresql.conf`

however, the pg_upgrade script expects it in the `datadir`.

the simple solution seems to be just symlinking the /etc files into the data 
dirs.

it took me a while to realize this was the error.

it might make sense to upgrade the docs with a note about what should be in the 
data dir to enable an upgrade.

I believe there is:

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.3/interactive/pgupgrade.html

Notes

"If you are upgrading a pre-PostgreSQL 9.2 cluster that uses a configuration-file-only directory, you must pass the real data directory location to pg_upgrade, and pass the configuration directory location to the server, e.g. -d /real-data-directory -o '-D /configuration-directory'."
