We did too, and got caught in the same thing.  If you're using OpenSSH,
you will likely need to add a "-1" to $SYSLOCAL/UPDCONFIG (note, this is
the small additional definition file in SYSLOCAL, not the main legacy
config file in $UPDUNIX!).  

We now have (in CV) the following one-line UPDCONFIG file in SYSLOCAL for
our three architectures:

sshcmd="ssh -1 -C -q -a -x -i ${HOME}/.ssh/mnj"

This definition is the same as the one in the main file except there's a
"-1" added.  I suspect that if you do this, your system will once again
work. 

Glad to see that others are taking the task of keeping their ssh
installations current; there is a nasty remote-root vulnerability in the
older versions of OpenSSH.
