Thank you for your action Joshua. The most weird thing is that it is known to work on debian (as reported here : https://github.com/ansible/ansible-modules-extras/issues/2651) !
For future reference, your bug report URL to openssh is : https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2692 ** Bug watch added: github.com/ansible/ansible-modules-extras/issues #2651 https://github.com/ansible/ansible-modules-extras/issues/2651 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to openssh in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1670745 Title: ssh-keyscan : bad host signature when using port option Status in portable OpenSSH: Unknown Status in openssh package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: When I use the port option with ssh-keygen, the result is not compatible with ssh known_host file format.

REMARKS : ============== Same problem has already reported here (on macOS): https://github.com/ansible/ansible-modules-extras/issues/2651 It seems that ssh-keyscan version and open-ssh version differs : dpkg -l | grep openssh :: ii openssh-client 1:7.2p2-4ubuntu2.1 [...] ssh-keyscan -v [...] :: debug1: match: OpenSSH_6.7p1 Debian-5+deb8u3 pat OpenSSH* compat 0x04000000 It is very annoying because I am trying to manage hand installed VMs with Ansible. For that I want to automate SSH host keys storing in known_hosts database. And because of this bug I can't. (ansible KIKIN project in development). Thank you, BR, Gautier HUSSON.
