Hi Robie I think you may be onto something, but I don't have the knowledge to offer any concrete way forward. I have seen liblsp.so and libc.so.6 repeatedly referred to in the crash reports I am getting, but this could just be because these libraries are so basic to the system functioning. AFAIK these are part of the core c libraries used in the kernel, they are deep in the system.
FYI sshd is now working on one of my computers, but I am equally puzzled as to why it started working again as to why it failed in the first place. I completely rebuilt the / partition, but this failed on its own to get sshd working. However, a few days and many reboots later, suddenly there it was, working. Possibly something else I downloaded in the interim made the difference, but it is a mystery what or why. I have attached my /var/log/apt/history.log from the machine in question, in case you can make anything of it. I don't know if this is a related issue, but as referred to in my message to Michael yesterday, apport or ubuntu-bug does not seem to be working properly either. This complicates the process of getting you the data. ** Attachment added: "Package history from my computer where sshd is now mysteriously working." https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openssh/+bug/1022434/+attachment/3223619/+files/history.log -- 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/1022434 Title: sshd server crashes on startup To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openssh/+bug/1022434/+subscriptions -- 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
