Probably this bug should block =app-eselect/eselect-postgresql-2.2 stabilizaion request (bug #627476).
It was particularly my miss. Or, probably not enough clear update procedure. After manual remove all old symbolic links eselect postgresql set 9.6 succeed. But after trying to set pervious version I've again got ln error: # eselect postgresql set 9.5 Unsetting 9.6 as default...done. Setting 9.5 as the default...ln: failed to create symbolic link '/usr/lib64/postgresql/lib64': File exists success! # file /usr/lib64/postgresql/lib64 /usr/lib64/postgresql/lib64: broken symbolic link to postgresql-9.6/lib64
That was past of intermediate test installation.
