Hi,

you seem you have several modified postgresql-common configuration
files on disk from a previous installation attempt:

My guess would be that you have also a "modified"
/etc/init.d/postgresql file in the sense that it got removed. Debian
will respect that, and not reinstall that config file.

To get out of the situation, do

apt-get -o DPkg::Options::=--force-confmiss install --reinstall postgresql-common
