Hmm. Grasping at straws. In a previous post you mentioned:

"If it matters, there's no /etc/postgresql/ and none in the backups 
since the beginning of August. "

What is in the backups at the beginning of August.

As Andrew pointed out the binary you are using thinks its files are in 
10.2/.

The question is what was running Postgres 'correctly' before this most 
recent change?

Is there information in the system logs from your last successful start 
that you would help with this?
