Influxdb upgrade from v1.8.6 broken [FIX] v1.8.9 still broken

I missed this thread previously - is this a Pi problem?

Because I've not had any problems with v1.8.9 on my Intel 64-bit Debian Buster system. I've not messed with or changed anything, InfluxDB is running on standard settings.

I install InfluxDB from the recommended repo: https://repos.influxdata.com/debian buster InRelease
