Hi,
thanks for the report but IMHO there is not much to do, port 22 is SSHs port and it is right to default to it. If your local configuration has port 22 bound to something else (Docker in your case) you need to adapt the configuration of either (ssh in its half installed state or your docker/images).

There is not much the ssh (package) could do IMHO.

So this looks like a local configuration problem, rather than a bug in Ubuntu.

You can find pointers to get help for this sort of problem here: http://www.ubuntu.com/support/community

Since we use this bug tracker to track bugs in Ubuntu, rather than configuration problems, I'm marking this bug as Invalid. This helps us to focus on fixing bugs in Ubuntu.

If you believe that this is really a bug, then you may find it helpful to read "How to report bugs effectively" http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html. We'd be grateful if you would then provide a more complete description of the problem, explain why you believe this is a bug in Ubuntu rather than a problem specific to your system, and then change the bug status back to New.
