The reason you get the error message is because that's
not the correct file name.  You need to start using
the apt search feature on either the command line or
GUI.
"aptitude search openssh"
or "apt-cache search openssh"
and use the results to install your program. I'm not
going to write down the correct file name to install
as you need to help yourself a lot more than what you
are.  Also get familiar using the "aptitude show <file
name>" command. It will give you info on the file to
help you understand what you want to install. I'll
give you a little hint. The apt search feature lists
more than one openssh program available for
installation and I don't know which you want; you have
to decide that.
