Have you tried in an LXC container on a different host (non-AstLinux)?
Just to narrow down if the problem is AstLinux or something else.

Does Pi-hole 6 require a specific kernel version?  One of the "features" of
containers like LXC is that they build upon the kernel of the host.
AstLinux is on a 5.x kernel, so if Pi-hole needs something from a
newer kernel then it might not work.
