[Bug 1022434] Re: sshd server crashes on startup

[Robert John Bowles]

Hi Robie

I think you may be onto something, but I don't have the knowledge to
offer any concrete way forward. I have seen liblsp.so and libc.so.6
repeatedly referred to in the crash reports I am getting, but this could
just be because these libraries are so basic to the system functioning.
AFAIK these are part of the core c libraries used in the kernel, they
are deep in the system.

FYI sshd is now working on one of my computers, but I am equally puzzled
as to why it started working again as to why it failed in the first
place. I completely rebuilt the / partition, but this failed on its own
to get sshd working. However, a few days and many reboots later,
suddenly there it was, working. Possibly something else I downloaded in
the interim made the difference, but it is a mystery what or why.

I have attached my /var/log/apt/history.log from the machine in
question, in case you can make anything of it.

I don't know if this is a related issue, but as referred to in my
message to Michael  yesterday, apport or ubuntu-bug does not seem to be
working properly either. This complicates the process of getting you the
data.

** Attachment added: "Package history from my computer where sshd is now mysteriously working."
