This problem is experienced on Debian 13 (Trixie).
When trying to reload the Systemd controlled "ssh" service (using
systemctl reload ssh), the reload runs into an error:
root@debian13:~# systemctl reload ssh
Job for ssh.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status ssh.service" and "journalctl -xeu ssh.service" for
details.
I just checked and this works fine for me on trixie, so I need more
information about your server configuration. For example, are you using
ListenAddress, or anything else that might affect how sshd tries to bind
its listen socket?
