[Bug 1192553] Re: package openssh-server 1:6.0p1-3ubuntu1 [modified: usr/sbin/sshd] failed to install/upgrade: ErrorMessage: unable to make backup link of `./usr/sbin/sshd' before installing new version: Operation not permitted

[Robie Basak]

Thank you for your report.

Since this looks like local disk corruption or a hardware problem,
rather than a bug in Ubuntu, I'm marking this bug as Invalid.

You can find pointers to get help for this sort of problem here:
http://www.ubuntu.com/support/community

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 rather than a problem specific to
your system, and then change the bug status back to New.

** Changed in: openssh (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Invalid

Title:
  package openssh-server 1:6.0p1-3ubuntu1 [modified: usr/sbin/sshd]
  failed to install/upgrade: ErrorMessage: unable to make backup link of
  `./usr/sbin/sshd' before installing new version: Operation not
  permitted

Status in “openssh” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  During automatic security updates our SSH broke and started
  segfaulting. There was nothing waiting to install. We assumed broken
  dependencies so, as it was behind, have done a do-release-upgrade, but
  it's failed here as well.
