there was a thread here recently about a similar sounding problem, see:
https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2018/01/msg00242.html
Not sure (of course) if this referred to the same problem as yours, and I
don't remember if this thread lead anywhere, but it might be a starting
point for you to investigate...
