Can't install openntpd: “unable to find a suitable fs in /proc/mounts, is it mounted?”...

I'm trying to install openntpd (sudo apt-get install openntpd) and I'm getting:



Preparing to unpack .../openntpd_1%3a6.0p1-2_amd64.deb ...
Warning: unable to find a suitable fs in /proc/mounts, is it mounted?
Use --subdomainfs to override.
dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archive/openntpd_%3a6.0p1-2_amd64.deb (--unpack):
subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archive/openntpd_%3a6.0p1-2_amd64.deb


I already tried rebooting and:



sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt-get -f install
sudo rm -rf /var/cache/apt/archive/openntpd_%3a6.0p1-2_amd64.deb


I also examined /var/lib/dpkg/info/openntpd.preinst.



I can install other packages. Is it a bug in openntpd? That would be strange because I have the latest version running on another of my Debian 9 KDE machines. All of these are using the 4.9.0-8-amd64 kernel. Maybe it has something to do with AppArmor?



Why am I getting this error and how to fix it?

    You should edit the question to tell potential answerers what the kernel versions are on both the functional and nonfunctional machines.
