Note that the complaint is specifically about /usr/bin/psql, not
/usr/lib/postgresql/9.3/bin/psql.

I would guess that /usr/bin/psql is a Perl script that is supposed to
invoke the real psql but is going off the rails somehow. You will need
to speak with whoever produced the PG package you're using, because any
such script would've been supplied by the packager, not by the Postgres
community.
