Thanks for filing this bug in Ubuntu.
This is the error that was logged:
Setting up openssh-server (1:7.2p2-4ubuntu2.8) ...
Unsafe symlinks encountered in /var/run/sshd, refusing.
Job for ssh.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status ssh.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
invoke-rc.d: initscript ssh, action "restart" failed.

Of note, I see this line:
Unsafe symlinks encountered in /var/run/sshd, refusing.
But no more details were given.
Could you please attach /var/log/syslog, /var/log/auth.log and the
output of "sudo systemctl status -l ssh"? You can trim the logfiles to
cover just March 18th.
** Changed in: openssh (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Incomplete
