Have you done apt update first?

I just installed postgresql as a test on stretch and it worked fine.

Does postgresql-common possibly require a real (or appearing to be
real) hostname setup on the server?

Yes, I did apt update && apt upgrade before.

Was it a vm ? If yes, could you put the image somewhere to download ?

I wouldn't know why, but even so, the vm had a real looking hostname.

btw, I was using the vm image that runs def2. so it is really unclear to
me what is going on (had no problems with that one before).

I just installed on the vm that I have (which I believe is the same
images running def2). This is the vm I made available for download a
while back.
