[Bug 1745027] Re: package openssh-server 1:7.2p2-4ubuntu2.4 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

Thanks for taking the time to file a bug!


It appears that the post-install failed to start the SSH server. The latest version of SSH came only with 4 security fixes so it is not obvious what would be causing this:

Can you verify your sshd config is valid by running `sudo /usr/sbin/sshd
-t && echo PASS || echo FAIL` can you also try manually starting the ssh
server via `sudo systemctl restart ssh.service` and see if any error
message appear in `sudo systemctl status ssh.service`?
