[EN] dpkg error, openssh-server

[dibl]

Yesterday, or maybe the day before, I began seeing this error on dist-upgrade:

Code: [Select]

root@imerabox:/home/don# apt-get dist-upgrade

Setting up openssh-server (1:6.0p1-2) ...
/etc/init.d/ssh: 6: /etc/default/ssh: X11Forwarding: not found

dpkg: error processing openssh-server (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 127
Errors were encountered while processing:
 openssh-server
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

I have not changed anything about ssh on this system for a long time, so this is something about updated software packages.

/etc/default/ssh is this:

Code: [Select]

# Default settings for openssh-server. This file is sourced by /bin/sh from
# /etc/init.d/ssh.

# Options to pass to sshd
SSHD_OPTS=
X11Forwarding yes
AllowTcpForwarding yes
X11DisplayOffset 10
X11UseLocalhost yes

Has anyone else seen it?  Any ideas -- does it need "fixed" or does it only need "waiting"?

I fixed this today -- I never figured out exactly when or why it happened.  Common fixes like "apt-get -f install" and "dpkg --configure -a" would not correct the problem.

I went to /var/lib/dpkg/info and

Code: [Select]

rm openssh*

then

Code: [Select]

dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq openssh openssh-server openssh-client

and the packages were installed and set up correctly.

Now, dolphin's "Add Network Folder" function, using ssh and fish protocol, works correctly on my LAN.

Hm I did not see this anywhere. Must've been a local quirk for you.

Since no one else reported it, I think we can safely call it a "local issue".
