Bug#864190: openssh-server: Missing privilege separation directory: /run/sshd

[Dmitry Smirnov <onlyjob@debian.org>]

Package: openssh-server
Version: 1:7.4p1-10
Severity: important

Reported this problem in the past as #823659 with patch yet it is still
not fixed as I run into the very same issue once again... :(

sshd.service did not start after reboot due to missing "/run/sshd"
directory:

~~~~
Missing privilege separation directory: /run/sshd
~~~~

I was able to start sshd after the following command:


    sudo mkdir /run/sshd

To fix this problem _properly_ the following file should be introduced:

    debian/openssh-server.ssh.tmpfile

with the following content:

~~~~
d /run/sshd 0755 root root
~~~~
