You mean even running as "sudo"?

No, you are not running tar as sudo.

I would at least suggest:

  cd /usr/local/src

  sudo tar --bzip2 xf /usr/postgresql-9.6.1-S11.i386-64.tar.bz2

a bit dependen of which tar you have.

otherwise:

  cd /usr/local/src

  sudo tar xf <( bzcat /usr/postgresql-9.6.1-S11.i386-64.tar.bz2 )
