I think this is expected. The Debian packages create a cluster when you install the server packages only if you don't already have a cluster. Here it's clearly that you do have one, so a new one isn't created. You could create one yourself with pg_createcluster. However, if what you want to do is to upgrade the 16 one, then I think you don't need to create a new one, but instead use pg_upgradecluster which will create one for you. -- Álvaro Herrera 48°01'N 7°57'E — https://www.EnterpriseDB.com/
