package openssh-server 1:7.2p2-4ubuntu2.2 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

I was doing a normal update and got this error message at the end.

I'm new to Ubuntu and I honestly don't know what the problem could be. I've not had problems with OpenSSH before

Hello, one of your logs indicates a problem:

/etc/ssh/sshd_config line 64: miss...

Sadly the actual error has been left out of the logs. But hopefully you can spot what's wrong on line 64.

Thanks

Hello Seth,

Thank you so much for your fast response!

I think that I found the error on line 64...It used to say:
X11 Forwarding

I think that because there was no "yes" or "no," that's why the error came up

I added "yes" and now everything seems to be working fine.

Have a wonderful weekend and thank you again--I've never had a major
problem like this before and I wasn't sure if anyone would respond at
all, but you did and your reply was extremely helpful!

Best wishes

Emily
