[Bug 1816016] Re: package openssh-server 1:7.2p2-4ubuntu2.7 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

This message in your logs indicates that your system is improperly
configured:

WARN: uid is 0 but '/' is owned by 1000

I suggest heading to #ubuntu on irc.freenode.net or
https://askubuntu.com to ask for help from someone. If you go to
askubuntu, be sure to paste in the output of ls -l / .

Thanks
