This is peculiar, because I don't believe we've ever written it out with
the upstream libexec path.  Yes, the examples file shows it as libexec,
but we've written out "Subsystem sftp /usr/lib/openssh/sftp-server" for
new installations since 2005.

Is it possible that you had hand-edited your sshd_config at some point?

Title:
  Default sshd_config file has bad path to sftp-server. Should be
  /usr/lib/openssh/sftp-server, not /usr/libexec/openssh/sftp-server

Status in openssh package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Silly error, can't believe it wasn't found or reported earlier.

  SFTP wasn't working, auth.log showed "cannot stat /usr/libexec/openssh
  /sftp-server: No such file or directory"

  I checked /etc/ssh/sshd_config and /usr/share/doc/openssh-
  server/examples/sshd_config, which is apparently the source file. Both
  had the "libexec" path to the file.

  I ran "locate openssh/sftp-server" and got "/usr/lib/openssh/sftp-
  server"

  Corrected the path in the config file & all was well.
