kex protocol error: type 30 seq 1

After upgrading openssh to 6.9p1-2 we were unable to connect to the server using putty.

In PuTTY, go to “Connection ? SSH ? Kex”. There, select “Diffie-Hellman group exchange” and move it to the bottom of the list, so it is not used. The connection should start working as normal again.
