I think the one click Install adds the required repository, then bombs on the actual installation because it isn't compatible with the Application Manager for some reason.

What I did was click on the OpenSSH Install file to add the repository, exited from App Manager once I saw the install had failed, opened xterm, sudo gainroot, apt-get install ssh. Job done.
