If you're referring to the ssh-host-config run, I've done that six
times, with (I think) every reasonable combination of answers to the
config questions.  Also ssh-user-config, though that's much less
relevant here.

If you're referring to something else, I wish you'd give me more of a
hint.  Otherwise, I might think the above is a lot like the "you're
not doing it right" non-answers I found when searching on the error
message.
