Which brings me back to your first post where you had:

Timing is on.
AUTOCOMMIT off
psql (9.6.10)
Type "help" for help.

Then you said the database was:

                                     version 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 PostgreSQL 9.4.15 on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, compiled by gcc (Debian 
4.9.2-10) 4.9.2, 64-bit
(1 rad)

Which seemed to be confirmed by:

bnl@ibm2:~$ psql
Tidtagning är på.
AUTOCOMMIT off
psql (9.6.15, server 9.4.15)
Skriv "help" för hjälp.


That leaves me wondering how you got to the output in the first post?

In other words different psql version and no server version listed which 
indicates the server is 9.6.
