Indeed, sorry. The real problem was that the log file disappeared
entirely for some reason. It's created by pg_createcluster or when
installed. Any idea why/when it disappeared?

I reopen this bug to improve handling of this case.

OK, that looks fine. What's the output of "id postgres", does it match
the "should be" output I mentioned in the previous comment?

Thanks,
