The failure is reported from crates/vfox/src/lua_mod/hooks.rs:58 during PLUGIN.PostInstall; begin by reproducing mise use postgres@18 on Debian 13 with the README packages. Run it with verbose output to identify the failing installation step, and consider the issue done when PostgreSQL 18 installs successfully on that environment.
