[Bug 1691209] Re: package openssh-server 1:7.2p2-4ubuntu2.2 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

[Joshua Powers]

Thank you for taking the time to file a bug report.

>From the log message above it appears you have a bad configuration
option in your sshd file. I believe the option you want is
'AuthorizedKeysFile'.

Since it seems likely to me that this is a local configuration problem,
rather than a bug in Ubuntu, I am marking this bug as 'Incomplete'.

However, if you believe that this is really a bug in Ubuntu, then we would
be grateful if you would provide a more complete description of the problem
with steps to reproduce, explain why you believe this is a bug in Ubuntu
rather than a problem specific to your system, and then change the bug
status back to "New".

For local configuration issues, you can find assistance here:

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