If you want to fix the problem in this way, then surely whatever package contains pg_upgrade should also contain pg_config. ​Indeed. An interesting packaging choice. I'd think it belongs to an admin category along with pg_upgrade, pg_dump, etc., rather than a development package. Surely it could be useful for admin scripts?
What makes it far worse is that pg_config isn't wrapped like the rest of the tools are. So you can only have one "development" package installed at once. We've pushed to change this to no effect. :/
