What is the official package for postgresql 11 on the ubuntu apt? The ones in the wiki don't work

I tried to install Postgresql from the basic apt dir with the commands listed on the ubuntu wiki which are sudo apt-get install postgresql postgresql-contrib

This returns an error, the only way that works for me if by installing it this way:

Can someone tip me about what is the correct way to install from the apt directory? Thank you!

Your 1st 3 stops should be Ubuntu packages, Launchpad and the official website.

Version 11 is only available in 19.04 and the package name and installation command is:

sudo apt install postgresql-11

Result:

$ sudo apt install postgresql-11

if you want it in 18.04 you can also download it from the 4th link above but you will need to check all the dependencies.
