[Bug 1980892] Re: package openssh-client 1:7.2p2-4ubuntu2.6 failed to install/upgrade: unable to make backup link of './usr/lib/openssh/ssh-keysign' before installing new version: Input/output error

[Seth Arnold]

Just a quick heads up, this might be filesystem corruption, this might
be hardware error.. I suggest trying to get backups of the data you care
about, quickly.

Thanks
