impressive and .. upgrade on 10.x now in process, easily, quickly, thanks to the Postgres PGDG Debian/Ubuntu repos .. BUT do not choose meta-package postgres ! Under Ubuntu at least, upgrading the meta-package postgres adds an entire new server 11+ without confirmation .. why is this tolerated.. genuinely annoying

I think you are looking for "apt-get upgrade" and not "apt-get dist-upgrade". Or, just install the version you specifically want
