I suspect this is due to changes in OpenSSH *client* that now refuse
older RSA keys for security reasons.
Could you retry with the following option: 'StrictHostKeyChecking no'
applied to the host in your ~/.ssh/config?
If that's indeed the problem, you'll want to upgrade your key to
something more modern like ed25519.
I hope that helps,
Maxim
