the complete message .. during a second upgrade completion attempt

Do you want to continue? [Y/n] y
Setting up openssh-client (1:8.7p1-3) ...
update-alternatives: <link> and <path> can't be the same

Use 'update-alternatives --help' for program usage information.
dpkg: error processing package openssh-client (--configure):
 installed openssh-client package post-installation script subprocess returned e
rror exit status 2
Errors were encountered while processing:
 openssh-client
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

ssh does still work .. errors in configuration script??
