Thanks for the advice. unfortunately, this does not work:
root@server:~# rm -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key
/etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key.pub
root@server:~# ssh-keygen -t rsa -N '' -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key
Generating public/private rsa key pair.
Your identification has been saved in /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key.
Your public key has been saved in /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key.pub.
The key fingerprint is:
SHA256:sA2Y6dG8QqCZQ3yfimLSjpSTPzZ7bq+UMmZmpyBc0tM root@server
The key's randomart image is:

with, consequently, the same error:

I'm afraid I lack the knowledge to really try and do anything else you
suggested, but I will certainly keep on trying to implement any
suggested fixes :)
Thanks again for all the hard work in maintaining and providing this
extremely useful package,
