I borked the sshd config and tried to upgrade: ### root@debpack:~# /etc/init.d/ssh restart; echo "RC: $?" ignoring bad proto spec: '3'. /etc/ssh/sshd_config line 9: Bad protocol spec '3'. RC: 1 root@debpack:~# aptitude dist-upgrade The following packages will be upgraded: openssh-client openssh-server 2 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

If you really think this is a bug you should report the bug against debhelper because this package add the line "invoke-rc.d aiccu start || exit $?". Personaly I think you shouldn't bork the config to not get the service started but use something like: "update-rc.d disable aiccu" > > Also, please don't ask debconf questions for the username and password, > when these are trivially editable in the configuration file.

I will leave this bug open for now if somebody want to comment on this, but I will close it in a few days.
