Seems to be related/duplicated to/of LP: 1382118. As suggested, running "ssh-keygen -A" should probably be the only thing needed.

The one issue with ssh-keygen -A is that it does not print ascii art fingerprint to stdout as we have had in the past.
simply changing to using that would mean a change in expected console output.
