Re: Need help cleaning up OpenSSH server install.
 

dpkg -reconfigure does not work
dpkg-reconfigure is not found.

Re: Need help cleaning up OpenSSH server install.
 

It should all be one word.

Seriously? The N900 lacks dpkg-reconfigure? Fail. Check in /usr/sbin - someone else had a problem where /usr/sbin wasn't in their $PATH.

You're running all these commands as root, correct?

Re: Need help cleaning up OpenSSH server install.
 

Yes.

I did a "find / -name "dpkg*" -print" and looked at all dpkg* stuff.

It is not there.

echo $PATH
/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin

Try this then...

Updated that... I misread the command I think.

Re: Need help cleaning up OpenSSH server install.
 

dpkg: error processing openssh-server (--configure):
package openssh-server is not ready for configuration
cannot configure (current status 'config-files')
Errors were encountered while processing:
openssh-server

Re: Need help cleaning up OpenSSH server install.
 

Please note, openssh-server is currently "uninstalled"

I am not able to reinstall it due to some leftover stuff lying around after the battery was knocked out mid-install.

Re: Need help cleaning up OpenSSH server install.
 

In the past when I've interrupted the postint scripts it causes a failure in dpkg's configuration. Usually rexconfiguring the packages re runs that. Try installing again via apt-get and then if it fails using the cofigure command.

Re: Need help cleaning up OpenSSH server install.
 

um.. try
sudo apt-get install --reinstall openssh-server

I'm just throwing it out there :P
