OK, so I just did a brand new install, clean machine, brand new drive, downloaded 14.04 from server. Put on USB, Did full install. rebooted. launced terminal sudo and set root password su to root scp my old sshd_config off another ubuntu machine. version 10 LTS. apt-get install openssh-server . . .

Not sure why .var/cache/debconf/config.dat is locked, but that appears to be why it failed. Seems odd given this is such a clean install. Is this not a bug.... Even if I wipe my sshd_config off the system (the only thing I brought over) I still get the config.data locked message. This seems pretty much like a bug to me. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1486107 Title: package openssh-server 1:6.6p1-2ubuntu2.3 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openssh/+bug/1486107/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
