Are you re-using some old host-key ?

OpenSSH 7 disables legaycy unsecure keys and ciphers

If so, it came from Mageia

> OpenSSH 7 disables legaycy unsecure keys and ciphers

While it is on your mind, might I suggest adding WHAT
     sshd legacy unsecured keys and ciphers are disabled
to https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Mageia_6_Errata

As I misunderstand the above error, the problem is in /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key

All I did was create the VirtualBox Guest using Mageia-5-x86_64-DVD.iso,
apply all mga5 updates, change /5/ to /cauldron/ in /etc/urpmi/urpmi.cfg,
use drakrpm-edit-media --expert to enable all media for update, and installed  ~2046 package updates that would update.

FYI. seems like my yesterday big update has made my VB Guest unusable which means I am through testing mga6 until i can get my hands on a mga6 Alpha iso.
