sudo: unable to execute /usr/lib/postgresql/9.4/bin/initdb: Permission denied

I have a feeling this is due to using an older version. But it is a miracle I was able to even get docker 1.7.1 installed where I work. There is no way(for the next few months) that I'll be able to run on a newer version.

Start by reproducing the reported docker run on Docker 1.7.1 and inspect the container logs around initdb, using the versions and storage details in the report. There is no repository file or test named; done would be identifying the cause of the permission failure and documenting or validating a compatible fix or workaround.
