Sorry, I meant an ECDSA key.


Taken from man ssh-keygen:
``     -A      For each of the key types (rsa1, rsa, dsa, *ecdsa* and
ed25519) for which host keys do not exist, generate the host keys with
the default key file path, an empty passphrase,
             default bits for the key type, and default comment.  This
is used by /etc/rc to generate new host keys.''

The default ecdsa key generated on my machine is ecdsa-sha2-nistp256.

That's why I explicitly suggested (sudo) ssh-keygen -A.
