apt error not understood

Buster everywhere, latest update.
I update/upgrade using apt on 3 different computers (SuperMicro desktop, Dell laptop, Raspberry Pi cute thing). Sample from a few minutes ago, on the desktop:
root@sbox:~# apt update
Hit:1 http://security.debian.org/debian-security buster/updates InRelease
Hit:2 http://deb.debian.org/debian buster InRelease
Get:3 http://deb.debian.org/debian buster-updates InRelease [51.9 kB]
Get:4 http://deb.debian.org/debian buster-backports InRelease [46.7 kB]
Fetched 98.6 kB in 2s (52.2 kB/s)
...
Error: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.systemd1.UnitMasked: Unit -.mount is masked.

All packages are up to date.
And all seems to have worked -- when update says there are upgrades available, it asks if I want them, then downloads and installs properly, but the same error message is displayed. I've been a Debian user for some 15 years, and I've never seen an error from dpkg, apt, apt-get, synaptic, or aptitude. Until a few weeks ago. On all my computers, except the 'Pi (also systemd). I don't know what makes this happen or even what it means (a bent apt update? a bent systemd update?).
Thoughts? Howtos?
