Hi Asmita,

From the logs, some packages failed to install:

Setting up gns3 (0.8.7-2) ...
dpkg: error processing package gns3 (--configure):
 installed gns3 package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 10
Setting up openssh-server (1:7.6p1-4ubuntu0.1) ...
dpkg: error processing package openssh-server (--configure):
 installed openssh-server package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 10

Can you please look in your syslog for any information that would help track down why these packages failed?

Post them here and then change the bug status from "incomplete" to "new".

[Expired for openssh (Ubuntu) because there has been no activity for 60 days.]

Still happening in 20.04.

@Malek - hi, chances that you have a different bug that just seems to be similar are very very high.
I recommend reporting a new bug so that your logs are automatically attached.
