Encrypt only selfsig

[John A. Martin]

How can I get a good selfsig on an encrypt only key?  Or any sig for
that matter.

$ gpg --version
gpg (GNUPG) 0.4.0
	...

$ gpgm --check-sigs

pub   768g/C8E2CCDB 1998-10-01 Testing3 (ElG eo) <test3 at foo.nil>
siggpgm: this is a PGP generated ElGamal key which is NOT secure for signatures!
%       C8E2CCDB 1998-10-01   [Unknown pubkey algorithm]

That after --gen-key.

And gpg is so upset with me that it gives me stuff like

gpg: this is a PGP generated ElGamal key which is NOT secure for signatures!
gpg: key C8E2CCDB, uid F0FA: invalid self-signature: Unknown pubkey algorithm
gpg: key C8E2CCDB, uid F0FA: invalid user id - removed
gpg: key C8E2CCDB: no user ids - rejected
gpg: key C8E2CCDB: insert trust record failed: Bad certificate

and sometimes more at every opportunity.

[jam at athene jam]$ gpg -u test1 --edit-key test3

Are you really sure that you want to sign this key
with your key: "Testing1 (DSA + ElG s+e) <test1 at foo.nil>"

Really sign? y
