Hi Angel,
Thank you for your report.

>From your log:

 Error: command ['/usr/sbin/sshd', '-T'] failed with exit code 255: /etc/ssh/sshd_config line 13: Deprecated option UsePrivilegeSeparation
 /etc/ssh/sshd_config line 16: Deprecated option KeyRegenerationInterval
 /etc/ssh/sshd_config line 17: Deprecated option ServerKeyBits
 /etc/ssh/sshd_config line 30: Bad SSH2 mac spec 'hmac-sha2-512-etm at openssh.com,hmac-sha2-256-etm at openssh.com,hmac-ripemd160-etm at openssh.com,umac-128-etm at openssh.com,hmac-sha2-512,hmac-sha2-256,hmac-ripemd160,umac-128 at openssh.com'.

That is a local misconfiguration that breaks the service.
You'd need to resolve that to be able to start the service, but also to upgrade/install the package.

This looks like a local configuration problem, rather than a bug in
Ubuntu.

You can find pointers to get help for this sort of problem here:
http://www.ubuntu.com/support/community

Since we use this bug tracker to track bugs in Ubuntu, rather than
configuration problems, I'm marking this bug as Invalid. This helps us
to focus on fixing bugs in Ubuntu.

If you believe that this is really a bug, then you may find it helpful
to read "How to report bugs effectively"
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html. We'd be grateful
if you would then provide a more complete description of the problem,
explain why you believe this is a bug in Ubuntu rather than a problem
specific to your system, and then change the bug status back to New.

** Changed in: openssh (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Incomplete

Bug description:
  On startuo I got an error message,three consecutive times now, saying
  system failed to load package. Weirdly, another message appears saying
  my software is up to date. When I 'x' it. I'm left with the option of
  reporting the bug failure, which I'm doing now.
