[Bug 495469] [NEW] E: openssh-server: subprocess installed post-removal script returned error exit status 1

[laeg]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: openssh-server

I received the following two errors when trying to reinstall ssh and
openssh-server after removing [I].ssh[/I] from my ~, [I]sudo rm -rf
/etc/ssh[/I] and removing both with synaptic:

E: openssh-server: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2
E: ssh: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured

Should this concern me and if so how do I remedy it?

Release:        9.10
