[Bug 1831335] Re: package openssh-server 1:7.2p2-4ubuntu2.8 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

[Andreas Hasenack]

Thanks for filing this bug in Ubuntu.

The error message is:
SSHDConfig:
 Error: command ['/usr/sbin/sshd', '-T'] failed with exit code 255: /etc/ssh/sshd_config: line 88: Bad configuration option: Y
 /etc/ssh/sshd_config: terminating, 1 bad configuration options

That means that there is a configuration error in your
/etc/ssh/sshd_config file, specifically on line 80. That file isn't
attached to this bug report, so I cannot tell you what is wrong.

What you should do is open that file, fix what's wrong in line 80, and
then you can issue these commands:

sudo apt update
sudo apt -f install

That should retry the operation and this time, if there are no other
errors, it should succeed.

I'll mark this bug as invalid, since it's a local configuration issue.
If you disagree, then feel free to reopen the bug, but please state the
reasons why you think it's a valid bug, and steps to reproduce it.

Thanks!
