actually if you are using potato then apt-get'ing ssh will get you openssh
not the older version which is now ssh-nonfree.

i had this exact same problem when i tried upgrading to openssh a week
ago. i thought at first that it was just that openssh must store the keys
in a different format then the old ssh program so i blew away my known_hosts
file... but no. after i'd deleted the known_hosts file i could connect to
any given host once, but after that i would get the above error ... no
matter what i tried.
since i use ssh a lot for work i quickly reverted back to ssh-nonfree.
