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

Setting up openssh-server (1:6.0p1-2) ...
/etc/init.d/ssh: 6: /etc/default/ssh: X11Forwarding: not found
invoke-rc.d: initscript ssh, action "restart" failed.
dpkg: error processing openssh-server (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 127

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:
# 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
rm openssh*
then
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".
