Ubuntu upgrade issues after eliminating DSA key as suggested in your Secure Shell guide

[bungabunga]

after upgrading Ubuntu to the latest version it has some issues every time i fire "apt-get dist-upgrade". i think this is because it finds that there's no DSA key on SSH server and it also can't generate a new one. so it always shows the following error: "dpkg: error processing package openssh-server (--configure): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1"

i guess this is all harmless but a bit annoying, so if you could propose a simple solution for us technically not so advanced, i'd much appreciate it.

thanks!

The easiest would be to let it generate keys (don't do the broken symlink trick) but make sure sshd_config won't use them.
