You didn't say which ssh distribution you installed (SSH
Communications or OpenSSH). OpenSSH won't overwrite existing
hostkeys, and I'd be surprised if the SSH Communications package did.
So ... if you're using OpenSSH, then my guess is that you configured
it with defaults -- and got what Jonathan describes above, which means
it doesn't know where your original keys are. Copy them from /etc/ssh
to /usr/local/etc, and you'll be back in business. Alternatively,
rebuild it using './configure --sysconfdir=/etc/ssh'.
Hope this helps -d
