Hi everybody.

After a install "from scratch" of my computer (ubuntu 10.04), I try to
import my previous secret key.

Don't ask me why, but I did'nt save the .gnupg directory.
Instead, I have a .p12 file with the secret key inside.

After lots of try and read on the net, (thanks google) I manage
to import this file with gpgsm :

$ gpgsm -K
gpgsm[5195]: can't connect to `/home/hoper/.gnupg/S.gpg-agent': Aucun
fichier ou dossier de ce type
/home/hoper/.gnupg/pubring.kbx
------------------------------
           ID: 0xFFFFFFFFC8ACF3C4
          S/N: 01
       Issuer: /CN=xxxxxx /L=78210/C=FR/EMail=xxxxxxxx
          aka: xxxxxxx
      Subject: /CN=xxxxxx /L=78210/C=FR/EMail=xxxxxxxx
          aka: xxxxxxx
     validity: 2009-06-09 19:48:13 through 2011-08-18 19:48:13
     key type: 4096 bit RSA
    key usage: digitalSignature keyEncipherment
  fingerprint:
A5:75:99:1E:F7:71:71:6C:AE:43:93:9F:23:00:6F:BD:C8:AC:F3:C4

and this file :
/home/hoper/.gnupg/private-keys-v1.d/F3FFEFBE7661DDAC15F5B1625F9168AF818E8396.key
was created. 

But I want this key to be used as my "default secret key". Well, I want
it to appear in the output of "gpg -K". 

How can I do this ? 

btw, I already manage to import the public key :

$ gpg --list-keys
/home/hoper/.gnupg/pubring.gpg
------------------------------
pub   1024D/1F03B55A 2009-06-09
uid                  hoper <xxxxxxxxxxxx>
sub   4096g/F7C66E72 2009-06-09

My only problem is with the secret part. (my secring.gpg file is still
empty). 

Any help will be really appreciated...
