So: 1) What package should I install? ssh itself. 2) I am in Brazil. Should I use the non-us site in order to apt-get the package? You'll have to, but not because you're in Brazil. non-us.debian.org contains packages that we have to be careful about exporting from the US, not that you have to be careful about importing from outside the US. Anybody, whether inside or outside the US, can use both the US and non-US mirrors. It's only redistributors who have to worry about it. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Installing ssh
Ok I just tried upgrade debconf and received what looks like the same error. I have attached the error. Thanks Bob for your help.

Not sure why it can't be found. Mebbe upgrade debconf? One of the bugs against ssh comments that ssh.postinst doesn't end with a newline, which may be the problem. However, ssh only Suggests: debconf, rather than depending on it; as a result, 'db_stop' needs to be protected with 'test -e /usr/share/debconf/confmodule' in the same way as all the other debconf calls in ssh.postinst are. I've pointed this out as a follow-up to one of the bug reports on this issue. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
