I don't know why the update would have changed anything in respect to that
unless the encryption is VERY old. I know Fedora has been slowly
deprecating older encryption methods.

I found the easiest way to sync keys is to login as the backuppc user and
use ssh-copy-id to push the public key to the remote system.

By default the backuppc user doesn't get a shell so you have to do
something like `sudo su -l backuppc -s /bin/bash`.

Thanks,
Richard
