This bug was fixed in the package procps - 2:3.3.17-5ubuntu1

---------------
procps (2:3.3.17-5ubuntu1) impish; urgency=low

  * Merge from Debian unstable.
    Remaining changes:
      - autopkgtest for LP: #1874824. Submitted to debian as bug 988792
      - debian/sysctl.d (Ubuntu-specific):
        + 10-console-messages.conf: stop low-level kernel messages on console.
        + 10-kernel-hardening.conf: add the kptr_restrict setting
        + 10-ipv6-privacy.conf: add a file to sysctl.d to apply the defaults
          for IPv6 privacy extensions for interfaces. (LP: #176125, #841353)
        + 10-magic-sysrq.conf: Disable most magic sysrq by default, allowing
          critical sync, remount, reboot functions. (LP: #194676, LP: #1025467)
        + 10-network-security.conf: enable rp_filter.
        + 10-ptrace.conf: describe new PTRACE setting.
        + 10-zeropage.conf: safe mmap_min_addr value for graceful fall-back.
          for armhf, and arm64.
        + 10-qemu.conf.s390x for qemu.
        + README: describe how this directory is supposed to work.
      - debian/rules: Fix cross build
      - ignore_eaccess.patch: If we get eaccess when opening a sysctl file for
        writing, don't error out.  Otherwise package upgrades can fail,
        especially in containers.
        - Adjust logic due to rc no longer being propagated (LP: #1903351)
      - ignore_erofs.patch: Same as ignore_eaccess but for the case where
        part of /proc is read/only.
        - Adjust logic due to rc no longer being propagated (LP: #1903351)
      - debian/procps.maintscript: handle migration of link-protect.conf from
        /etc to /usr.
    Justification of dropped patches
      - missing_potfiles_in: Debian has now added this code in POTFILES.in
        so the patch is no longer needed
      - pmap_test: This patch disables some tests that are not causing
        any problems. These tests are run in Debian so should be run
        in Ubuntu as well
      - top_config_file_bwcompat: Debian has applied this code upstream so
        the patch is no longer needed
      - tar-version: Debian has applied this code upstream so the patch is
        no longer needed
      - stack_limit: Debian has applied this code upstream so the patch is
        no longer needed
