[Bug 2150451] [NEW] Sshd died during 24.04 to 26.04 upgrade

[Mario Limonciello]

Public bug reported:

I did a do-release-upgrade -d over ssh.

Both the normal port ssh runs on as well as the backup port in case of a problem died.
The next morning I used a console to run apt -f install / dpkg --configure -a to finish the upgrade.

In the end I got it up and running, but I wouldn't expect sshd to die.
