Hi csozo, It looks like your system was under some form of memory pressure prior to the openssh installation. So I don't think this is a fault necessarily in openssh itself but rather due to your computer having run out of memory and gotten into some sort of inconsistent state.
I would recommend rebooting the machine (if you haven't already), and running `apt-get -f install`. It looks like there might have been some reconfiguration questions (possibly updates to some of your manual configuration work?) so I'd run it from a terminal window and keep an eye on it. Once you've done that, can you let us know if the issue is resolved or if you get a better insight as to what went wrong? ** Description changed: I don't know.
