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

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?

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...

Code:
dpkg --configure openssh-server

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.

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.
