If I tried again following this freeze, dpkg.log would contain these additions:
2008-05-17 09:31:25 status half-configured openssh-client 1:4.7p1-8ubuntu1.2
2008-05-17 09:31:25 configure libglib2.0-0 2.16.3-1ubuntu1 2.16.3-1

2008-05-17 09:31:43 configure openssh-client 1:4.7p1-8ubuntu1.2 1:4.7p1-8ubuntu1.1.
If I try reinstallation of openssh-client in Synaptic, I get the following:
E: openssh-client: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 2
E: libglib2.0-0: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 2

If I try "sudo dpkg-reconfigure openssh-client", I get
/usr/sbin/
I then tried something I saw on the forums:
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get install -f
At this time (not sure if it was related), I got the system crash indication.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Can you try with latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.
