An incorrect socket-directory setting would lead to something like
"could not connect to server: No such file or directory", not to a
specific complaint about a database not being present.
Unless ... could it be that there is another PG server active on the
machine, whose cluster lacks a "template1" database? Seems unlikely,
but you might try confirming with "ps auxww | grep post" or the like.
I also wonder if the cluster you're trying to upgrade from has a
"template1" database. Not sure if anyone has ever tested whether
pg_upgrade can cope with the lack of one.
