Ah interesting I had never seen this issue before, what Emacs version and OS are you using?

I'm using GNU Emacs 30.0.50 (build 1, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.24.34, cairo version 1.16.0) of 2023-01-16 on Ubuntu 22.10.

I am also getting this error, Yasnippet-snippets will not install.

My OS is Ubuntu 22.04

Ok sorry I'll have a look in the next few days

I also have this issue since at least a month on Ubuntu 22.10.

There is a analogous message in yasnippet-snippets-20230227.1504,
so i have to manual unmark yasnippet-snippets before update:
⛔ Warning (tar): Extracted ‘/home/User/.emacs.d/elpa-29.0/yasnippet-snippets-20230227.1504/snippets/terraform-mode/google/app_engine_resources/PaxHeaders/goog’, a pax extended header, as a normal file

GNU Emacs 29.0.60 (build 1, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.24.36, cairo version 1.17.6) of 2023-02-20

arch linux user 6.2.1-arch1-1 ,gnome 43.3 wayland

Same message as kevinfis;
arch linux 6.11.9, kde/plasma, x, emacs 29.4

I found this page might be relate the problem, for reference:
https://superuser.com/questions/1557274/7zip-has-problems-extracting-posix-tar-archives-due-to-paxheader-files

by the way, due to this annoy message, temporarily i remove snippet in pacakage-list, but using git clone this site to a directory and (setq yasnippet-snippets-dir "/snippets-path").
