This was caused by “Rebuild Droplet” Ubuntu to Debian. Clean new Debian Droplet did not have the same issue.

This is not good enough though. I need to rebuild my Centos server as Debian and maintain the IP it had. I cant do it because of this error. Building a new droplet is not a solution for me.
