Is there any chance that the people affected by this bug perhaps had an upgrade policy such that the new config file shipped with openssh-server would be taken as-is, instead of keeping the local changes?
If you changed the port, and then the upgrade was allowed to install the new config file (because there were changes in the new config file shipped in openssh-server), then the port would be restored to 22. So when you guys experienced "connection refused", was that on the custom port you had, and you didn't try port 22? Or was port 22 also closed? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to openssh in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2087551 Title: OpenSSH server config broken on unattended update Status in openssh package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: My server performed unattended update of openssh-server from 1:9.6p1-3ubuntu13.5 to 1:9.6p1-3ubuntu13.7, and after this I could not access ssh anymore, connection refused.
