I was upgrading the openssh-server package using apt-get upgrade on my Ubuntu 7.04 server, in order to fix the debian PRNG security bug. I was doing so over an SSH connection (putty on windows) which I thought was ok but…
The upgrade seems to have hung at the following, it's like it wants me to click "Ok" in the "window" but of course I can't because I'm just in a shell.
Setting up openssh-server (4.3p2-8ubuntu1.5) …

â Vulnerable host keys will be regenerated â
â â®
â Some of the OpenSSH server host keys on this system were generated with â
â a version of OpenSSL that had a broken random number generator. As a â
â result, these host keys are from a well-known set, are subject to â
â brute-force attacks, and must be regenerated. â
â â
â Users of this system should be informed of this change, as they will be â
â prompted about the host key change the next time they log in. Use â
â 'ssh-keygen -l -f HOST_KEY_FILE' after the upgrade has changed to print â
â the fingerprints of the new host keys. â
â â
â The affected host keys are: â
â â
â
â <Ok>

I notice that I can't connect any new ssh sessions to the server anymore, but an existing one I have open still works.
Any ideas how I can proceed?

Ensure the Putty window has focus, then try hitting "Enter". If that doesn't work, hit "Tab" until the "< Ok >" is highlighted and then try "Enter" again.
