FYI - Might be:
- bug 1811580
Or broken /var/run / /run connection which is related to 
- https://askubuntu.com/questions/1109934
- https://serverfault.com/questions/941855

You might pickup some hints about the issue in general there.
As paride said let us know if you identified a bug in Ubuntu itself, but so far it was always a system setup issue.
