Well, restarting sshd remotely has been done for quite some time: $ ssh root@duo ... root@duo:~# pidof sshd 14132 2374 root@duo:~# systemctl restart sshd root@duo:~# pidof sshd 14286 14132 root@duo:~#
Of course, now that your system is in a state where it's showing that error, care must be taken to not lose access. I'd start another ssh server in a different port just to be safe. That being said, there is no obvious issue to be fixed at the moment, since as shown above, logging in remotely and restarting ssh works just fine in the common case. -- 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/1798884 Title: Upgrade or install fails 1:7.2p2-4ubuntu2.5 Status in openssh package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Today I've got an update to openssh-server version 1:7.2p2-4ubuntu2.5 but installation fails.
