I don't know whether sshd was running immediately after the install; I noticed this problem a couple reboots after the install process was complete. Are there any logs I can check that would be helpful to reconstruct the sequence of events?

After doing so, sshd stopped working. The output of "journalctl -xeu ssh.service" includes the line: Jun 06 01:51:05 big-bucks sshd[4544]: Missing privilege separation directory: /run/sshd This fixed the problem: sudo mkdir /run/sshd It seems like either the upgrade sequence or the service startup sequence should have done this automatically. Currently running: ssh/lunar 1:9.0p1-1ubuntu8 all There was also a problem reported with /run/sshd on bug #1991283, but I guess the fix for that didn't prevent this.
