Thanks for taking the time to submit this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.
It looks like the ssh package file is corrupt. Could you show the result of df -h to check for a full disk? If disks are not full, then you can force the file to be re-fetched (hopefully correctly) by doing sudo rm /var/cache/apt/archives/openssh* and then re-trying the update. ** Changed in: openssh (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to openssh in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/729477 Title: package openssh-client 1:5.3p1-3ubuntu5 failed to install/upgrade: ErrorMessage: subprocess dpkg-deb --fsys-tarfile returned error exit status 2 -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
