Andrew,
Yes, pg_config is present but pointing to the wrong directory:
# /usr/lib/postgresql/10.3/bin/pg_config --sharedir
/usr/share/postgresql-10.2
However, the file dates are that of the upgrade from 10.2 to 10.3:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 7096448 Mar 1 2018 postgres*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 Mar 1 2018 postmaster -> postgres*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 514732 Mar 1 2018 psql*
and the postgres version is 10.3:

# /usr/lib/postgresql/10.3/bin/postgres -V
postgres (PostgreSQL) 10.3

Can pg_config be corrected independent of anything else. That seems to be
where the blockage is found.
Thanks,
