Error importing public key

[Viet H. Phan]

Hi,

I don't know if the original key was from a Mac. I got no issues when I imported the original key to PGP Desktop (v9.8). The original key can be also read by the PGPdump tool (http://www.pgpdump.net/) without any issues.

Might there be any bugs in GnuPG 2.0.12? As the key was generated by GnuPG 2.0.12, but then couldn't be imported to GnuPG 2.0.12 ...

Regards,
Viet

Well, what I had when I saved it was one long line of unicode with embedded CRs.

Breaking up the lines and removing the unicode header I got a file that would
import.

Was the original key sent from a Mac?
