We'll need to be able to reproduce this problem before being able to do anything about it. (I have a modified /etc/ssh/sshd_config on my own stable system and it wasn't overwritten on upgrade.) Can you please provide a copy of your modified /etc/ssh/sshd_config, along with the output of the relevant apt run (which should be preserved in /var/log/apt/term.log)? -- Colin Watson (he/him) [[email protected]]
