I messed up sshd_config and did not make a copy. So I removed openssh-server, then installed openssh-server. The installation complained with message.Not replacing deleted config file /etc/ssh/sshd_config
Any suggestions for how to reinstall openssh-server?
On ubuntu 18.04
Somehow microk8s and rcopy also got uninstalled when I removed openssh-server. yikes, completely unexpected side effect.
Is there a recovery mode of ubuntu 18.04 where it will fix things when they get this badly messed up?

You have to ask APT to replace the configuration file by using command below
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-confask" install --reinstall openssh-server
