Thanks for looking into this!
That kernel is your problem. That in no way has any business being on debian testing. Current Debian stable uses 4.19. Previous stable was 4.9. 3.16 is from at least 5 years ago and certainly is missing a ton of features required by any system these days.
Is this some weird hosted container system? If so, that is too old to be useful for anyone.
Actually looking at the kernel version, that is a Debian style version, it is just totally obsolete. Make sure you have the package 'linux-image-amd64' installed, which will keep your kernel at the current debian version whenever you do a proper upgrade. Note a proper upgrade is apt-get dist-upgrade (not apt-get update) or apt full-upgrade (probably preferred these days over apt-get). upgrade only upgrades package versions, but won't install any new package names, while dist-upgrade/full-upgrade will allow new packages to be installed, and since a new kernel version has a new package name (since the version is in the name) you need the full upgrade in order to get a kernel upgrade. upgrade is only valid within a release to get point release updates and security fixes. To go to another release, or in fact anytime when running testing or unstable where things change a lot, the full upgrade is often required. -- Len Sorensen
