I see the same issue. The cause is the line runuser -u ntopng -- tar xf- -C $DATA_DIR in postinst. The error message is a bit misleading, strace shows that tar is actually trying to open a file called '-C'. I am not an expert in tar's short option, but you might have hit an argument parsing issue in tar. Changing the line to runuser -u ntopng -- tar --extract --verbose --file - --directory $DATA_DIR has some chance to work (worked for me), but I think that's a style question and there surely is a way to write that in a way that tar will also accept with short options. I have tar 1.30+dfsg-4. btw, in my opinion this is a release critical bug. Hope this helps.
