Since m ynotebook that contained copies of my secret kesy was stolen, I'm
trying to revoke my (to date) main key. I generated a revocation
certificate:

-----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----
Version: GnuPG v1.2.0 (GNU/Linux)
Comment: A revocation certificate should follow

-----END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----

then I'm trying to import it into my keyring:

alex at FUCKUP:[~]:38:0:> gpg re
gpg: standalone signature of class 0x20
gpg: Signature made Wed Oct 23 00:38:12 2002 CEST using DSA key ID 21939169
gpg: standalone revocation - use "gpg --import" to apply
alex at FUCKUP:[~]:39:0:> gpg --import re
gpg: key 21939169: invalid revocation certificate: general error - rejected
gpg: error reading e': general error
gpg: import from e' failed: general error
gpg: Total number processed: 0

How can I revoke my key?

Alex
