I received a massive update for Tumbleweed today and since then it is no longer possible to do a remote login via ssh as root to the Tumbleweed system. This still worked fine last Friday, so the update must have caused this. I have looked through the logs, but found no useful information (only very cryptic messages from audit that left me none the wiser). I have looked for changed configuration files, but found none so far. I didn’t find anything useful on the web either.
This is the error message I get:

I am out of ideas. Any help would be appreciated.
