Comment 15 for bug 1022434

Some more experiments following a lead about liblsp.so. This was not (as I thought) part of the core system, but it belongs to the astrill package, which provides vpn client software.

It so happens I was given a beta version of the client. On the machine that mysteriously re-started working with sshd I had removed the beta clent and re-installed an older version.

To confirm, I uninstalled the beta from the 'bad' box, and immediately found sshd worked straight away on reboot. I reinstalled the older version of the Astrill client, and sshd continued to work fine.

The problem, therefore, lies in the astrill package (or at least the beta version I was given). It is not part of the core Ubuntu system, so I am marking this bug 'invalid'. I will take up resolution with the software providers.
