Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.
On upgrading a service this service has to be restarted to pick up the fixes. Rather rarely a real issue occurs that the newer version does e.g. fail with the formerly working configuration. But most of the time what happens is, that a service was installed, but stays unconfigured or experimented with but left in a broken state. Now on any update of the related packages that service has to be restarted, but since its config is incomplete/faulty it fails to restart. Therefore the update of that package has to consider itself incomplete. Depending on your particular case there are two solutions: - either remove the offending package if you don't want to continue using it. - Or if you do want to keep it please fix the configuration so that re-starting the service will work. Since it seems likely to me that this is a local configuration problem, rather than a bug in Ubuntu, I'm marking this bug as Incomplete. If indeed this is a local configuration problem, you can find pointers to get help for this sort of problem here: http://www.ubuntu.com/support/community Or if you believe that this is really a bug, then you may find it helpful to read "How to report bugs effectively" http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html. We'd be grateful if you would then provide a more complete description of the problem, explain why you believe this is a bug in Ubuntu rather than a problem specific to your system, and then change the bug status back to New. ** Changed in: openssh (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to openssh in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1770290 Title: package openssh-server 1:7.6p1-4 failed to install/upgrade: installed openssh-server package post-installation script subprocess was killed by signal (Broken pipe) Status in openssh package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: bug ProblemType: Package DistroRelease: Ubuntu 18.04 Package: openssh-server 1:7.6p1-4 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.15.0-20.21-generic 4.15.17 Uname: Linux 4.15.0-20-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.9-0ubuntu7 Architecture: amd64 Date: Thu May 10 05:37:21 2018 DuplicateSignature: package:openssh-server:1:7.6p1-4 Setting up openssh-server (1:7.6p1-4) ... dpkg: error processing package openssh-server (--configure): installed openssh-server package post-installation script subprocess was killed by signal (Broken pipe) ErrorMessage: installed openssh-server package post-installation script subprocess was killed by signal (Broken pipe) InstallationDate: Installed on 2018-02-17 (81 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS "Xenial Xerus" - Release amd64 (20170801) Python3Details: /usr/bin/python3.6, Python 3.6.5, python3-minimal, 3.6.5-3 PythonDetails: /usr/bin/python2.7, Python 2.7.15rc1, python-minimal, 2.7.15~rc1-1 RelatedPackageVersions: dpkg 1.19.0.5ubuntu2 apt 1.6.1 SSHDConfig: Error: command ['/usr/sbin/sshd', '-T'] failed with exit code 1: /etc/ssh/sshd_config: No such file or directory SourcePackage: openssh Title: package openssh-server 1:7.6p1-4 failed to install/upgrade: installed openssh-server package post-installation script subprocess was killed by signal (Broken pipe) UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to bionic on 2018-05-08 (1 days ago) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openssh/+bug/1770290/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
