The oneconf issue already has a bug report filed here:

    https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/oneconf/+bug/1486450

So we can consider that aspect of this install failure to be a dupe of that bug report.

The other part is that postgres failed when the system configuration is unwritable. I haven't found an independent report of that, so let's have this bug report narrow to focus on just that.

I'm not sure how to set up oneconf to match the original bug report, but I am able to reproduce a similar error message by building a docker image with postgres, in hirsute. We're obviously not going to be able to set config when the config is unwritable, but my goal will be to enable workarounds and better diagnostics to make this easier to resolve when it crops up.
