I don't think its an issue with primary key index corruption.

That is interesting, more information would be helpful though:

Postgres version?

OS and version?

The pg_basebackup command line invocation?

Why you don't think it is index corruption?

        Sure, here it is.

        /usr/pgsql-9.5/bin/initdb -D /data/upgrade/95/ —encoding=utf8

        Then updating:

        /data/upgrade/94 -B /usr/pgsql-9.5/bin/ -D /data/upgrade/95 -k

        and so on to 9.6


    The original 9.4 database has the same encoding setup?

    FYI, you can use pg_upgrade to go straight from 9.4 to 9.6.

    "pg_upgrade supports upgrades from 8.4.X and later to the current
    major release of PostgreSQL, including snapshot and alpha releases."



        after that server starts normally.
