OK, 

postgres@stantest:/var/run/postgresql$ ls -ld
drwxrwsr-x 2 postgres postgres 40 Dec 10 08:35 .

Looks correct to me. 

This sundirectory 12-main.pg_stat_tmp keeps getting deleted.

If I create it by hand as user psotgres, the DB starts up when I run:

/usr/lib/postgresql/12/bin/postgres -D /var/lib/postgresql/12/main -c
config_file=/etc/postgresql/12/main/postgresql.conf

But tring to start it with /etc/ini.d/postgresql start fails
