[Bug 1297774] Re: package openssh-server 1:6.2p2-6ubuntu0.2 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

[Andrey Zankin]

It seems the same problem for both packages.
I debugged the confugure script like that:

$ sudo dpkg -D3 --configure openssh-server
Setting up openssh-server (1:6.2p2-6ubuntu0.2) ...
D000002: fork/exec /var/lib/dpkg/info/openssh-server.postinst ( configure 1:6.2p2-6ubuntu0.1 )
start: Job is already running: ssh
invoke-rc.d: initscript ssh, action "restart" failed.
dpkg: error processing openssh-server (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
 openssh-server

so configuration fails on this command inside /var/lib/dpkg/info/openssh-server.postinst (line 302 for me)
invoke-rc.d ssh restart

Debug output using this command:
sudo bash -x invoke-rc.d ssh restart

at that line:
+ test x/usr/sbin/policy-rc.d '!=' x

show me the bug: the executable /usr/sbin/policy-rc.d disappeared
somehow.
