The host identification for the ssh-server is generated when the 
ssh-server is first installed, so it is different every time; your 
restored known_hosts knows the old identification so it sees a mismatch. 
Since in this case you know that the identification change is benign, 
you can use ssh-keygen -R localhost to remove the old fingerprint in 
known_hosts.
