I could imagine an issue with any kind of sandboxing configured on your host. Maybe for a start: take a look at /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/munin-node.service. There you can see the following execution parameters: PrivateDevices=false PrivateTmp=true ProtectHome=true ProtectSystem=full Please comment out all of them and check, whether the service still fails. (the above change modifies a file of the package - not a conffile - thus the change will get lost with the next package upgrade) If this fixes the issue, then please find out, which of the setting is causing the failure. If this does not fix the issue, then maybe you could think of any kind of sandboxing security feature, that you configured for this host or its virtualization provider? (selinux, apparmor, ...)
