Package: openssh-server Version: 1:7.9p1-10 Severity: normal After boot, openssh-server (sshd) does not accept new connections. If this is a new installation of debian, you are not even prompted to accept the server SSH key. If you open up the server console, and type a few things, like, in the username prompt, "ddd", and therefore provide the system with sufficient entropy, you can then use SSH normally. You can connect to the server, and do anything you want, like normally. I believe that if you also wait tens of minutes, the same effect may be achieved, but I have not been able to confirm it.
The above behavior has been observed in 3 separate Proxmox clusters, and 2 separate Proxmox installations, unclustered, using KVM for virtualization, all 5 of which in different types of x84 servers (amd64). On a fresh install of Debian 10, using the debian-10.0.0-netinst, this bug occurs. On a fresh install of Debian 10, using the debian 10 RC1 netinstaller, this bug did not occur. On any Debian version (7-9) on the same cluster, this bug does not occur. On Debian servers running Debian 9, and upgraded to Debian 10, this bug occurs, 100% of the time. That said, the issue is probably with lack of entropy for openssh-server, which makes sshd unusable until some is found. This is not 100% confirmed, but all evidence points to it. Other operating systems on the same virtualization environment, like Ubuntu 18.04, or CentOS 7, do not suffer from the above. They experience the same behavior as older versions of Debian (work perfectly).
