Do you have postgresql installed?

What do you get when you type: ps -C postgres ?

Try to completely remove postgres with:

sudo apt-get --purge autoremove postgresql*

Reinstall postgres.

Thanks for the answer, unfortunately the error persits.

Find a way to completely uninstall postgresql (and deleting all his related folders), and reinstall it.
