I am currently doing some testing with an Orange Pi. After doing an update on a fresh install it seems as though the ssh server is no longer able to start itself, and I'm not able to manually start it either. Purging and reinstalling openssh-server still leaves me with the same error after reinstall

Error:

end script

# if you used to set SSHD_OPTS in /etc/default/ssh, you can change the
# 'exec' line here instead
exec /usr/sbin/sshd -D

for whatever reason the config file isn't making the directory

Alright, I played around with it myself for a bit. It turns out that the filesystem likes to clean /var/run/sshd on boot. My fix for now is that I made a bash script to make that directory on boot and then start the ssh service. It seems to work right now although there probably was a faster way I'm just not familiar with.
