Description
I wanted to update Keybase from 5.1.x to 5.2.0-20200130 on Debian 9.11 (x86_64) via the repository. It throws an error during update in aptitude:
```

Research direction
Start by reproducing the aptitude update on Debian 9.11 and inspect the Keybase post-installation step that reports the /keybase mount errors. Done means the package configures successfully and the /keybase mount remains usable after the update.
