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/1750754 Title: package openssh-server 1:7.5p1-10ubuntu0.1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Status in openssh package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Not much to report there was an error when this package as to install in the background Description: Ubuntu 17.10 Release: 17.10 openssh-server: Installed: 1:7.5p1-10ubuntu0.1 Candidate: 1:7.5p1-10ubuntu0.1 Version table: *** 1:7.5p1-10ubuntu0.1 500 500 http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu artful-updates/main amd64 Packages 500 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu artful-security/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 1:7.5p1-10 500 500 http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu artful/main amd64 Packages This was automatically being updated and the error occurred ProblemType: Package DistroRelease: Ubuntu 17.10 Package: openssh-server 1:7.5p1-10ubuntu0.1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.13.0-32.35-generic 4.13.13 Uname: Linux 4.13.0-32-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia_uvm nvidia_drm nvidia_modeset nvidia ApportVersion: 2.20.7-0ubuntu3.7 AptOrdering: chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra:amd64: Install NULL: ConfigurePending Architecture: amd64 Date: Wed Feb 21 18:47:43 2018 DpkgHistoryLog: Start-Date: 2018-02-21 18:47:41 Commandline: /usr/bin/unattended-upgrade Upgrade: chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra:amd64 (64.0.3282.140-0ubuntu0.17.10.1, 64.0.3282.167-0ubuntu0.17.10.1) ErrorMessage: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 InstallationDate: Installed on 2016-11-03 (474 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS "Xenial Xerus" - Release amd64 (20160420.1) Python3Details: /usr/bin/python3.6, Python 3.6.3, python3-minimal, 3.6.3-0ubuntu2 PythonDetails: /usr/bin/python2.7, Python 2.7.14, python-minimal, 2.7.14-2ubuntu1 RelatedPackageVersions: dpkg 1.18.24ubuntu1 apt 1.5.1 SSHDConfig: Error: command ['/usr/sbin/sshd', '-T'] failed with exit code 255: Missing privilege separation directory: /run/sshd SourcePackage: openssh Title: package openssh-server 1:7.5p1-10ubuntu0.1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to artful on 2017-12-22 (61 days ago) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openssh/+bug/1750754/+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
