However, ssh-keygen gives me the exact same output if I try to do it

So you did the following? If not give it a try where ... is hostname in
question:
hostname=...
ssh-keygen -R $hostname
ssh $hostname
Yup, that is exactly what I did and on doing ssh $hostname I got the
usual warning of authenticity of host $hostname (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) can't
be established. ...etc...etc.
That works fine. However, it is ssh-keygen which I think should return
something intelligent if it doesn't find a hostname entry to remove from
the known_hosts file. Below is what I get if I try to remove a
non-existent hostname listing:
00:09:15 {~} $> ssh-keygen -F hohoho.hahaha
00:10:16 {~} $>
00:09:18 {~} $> ssh-keygen -R hohoho.hahaha
/home/foobar/.ssh/known_hosts updated.
Original contents retained as /home/foobar/.ssh/known_hosts.old
So ssh-keygen does not return anything if it doesn't find a hostname
entry, and if asked to remove the same it says that the file was updated!!
