Error installing Azure CLI on Linux Mint?

Question

I'm trying to install Azure CLI on Linux Mint 19. The official site states:

This script is only verified for Ubuntu 16.04+ and Debian 8+. It may not work on other distributions. If you're using a derived distribution such as Linux Mint, follow the manual install instructions and perform any necessary troubleshooting.

I'm trying to follow those instructions, but at this line:

sudo apt-get install ca-certificates curl apt-transport-https lsb-release gnupg

I get the following error:

openssh-server
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

sudo dpkg --configure -a

and

sudo apt-get install -f

But I get this error in both cases:

● ssh.service - OpenBSD Secure Shell server
   Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/ssh.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
   Active: activating (auto-restart) (Result: exit-code) since Mon 2019-09-16 22:39:42 -03; 6ms ago
  Process: 22323 ExecStartPre=/usr/sbin/sshd -t (code=exited, status=255)

Maybe you can try to follow the steps just in [Linux](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/install-azure-cli-linux?view=azure-cli-latest). — Charles Xu, Sep 17 '19 at 02:59

To install the Azure CLI, you can choose the right steps for the special Linux distribution in the Installation. But when you do not find the steps for your Linux distribution, you can choose the steps for all the Linux system. But first, you need to meet the prerequisites.
