You should run systemctl status console-setup.service as per suggestion to have a look at the problem.

You may need to execute

sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration

or

sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup

and provide suitable answers to the questions those commands ask to recreate a 'working' configuration.

I used the command: sudo systemctl enable console-setup

The next time the system started. There was no red message: "Failed to start console ..."

As suggested here, you can try:

sudo systemctl restart console-setup.service

I had the same problem on Debian Stretch, and this resolved it for me. The error did not recur on reboot.
