The postgresql service needs /var/run/postgresql folder to run. The previous version (v13.16) of postgresql-server package created the required folder when unpacking rpm, so it was available when xroad-proxy install scriptlets started to run, and they can start the postgresql service and perform the db creation, running liquibase.

But in postgresql-server v13.18 the /var/run/postgresql is not created during package installation. While yum install is running, postgresql service can't be started, it fails with the error that /var/run/postgresql is not found. The required /var/run/postgresql folder appears only when yum install completes. It gets created by the systemd-tmpfiles util.
