[Bug 2020474] Re: openssh-server-1:9.2p1-2ubuntu1 fails post-installation

[scottfk]

So I tried this in an amd64 VM.  Installing this version of openssh-
server (from inside a GNOME session) worked just fine.

ssh-ing to localhost and attempting a reinstall ended up in the exact
same FAIL.

So it seems the upgrade of openssh-server 1:9.2p1-2ubuntu1 can't be done
from an ssh session (regardless of processor architecture).  I'll do
more poking around to see if I can't figure out why systemd won't/can't.

Title:
  openssh-server-1:9.2p1-2ubuntu1 fails post-installation

Status in openssh package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Installation seems to fail on restarting ssh.socket via systemctl

  At this point, sshd is no longer listening for new connections.  A
  manual systemctl restart of ssh.socket fails with the same error.  I
  am ssh-ed into this box, so I *think* the failure is because my
  session is already sitting on port 22, maybe?  The only way I can be
  sure I will be able to ssh to this box again is to reboot it (so that
  ssh.socket can start cleanly).
