Hi,
I'm running 2.1.0-beta220 and try to import my key to the new keychain.
Here is how my key is defined:
- One master key for signing with private key material not present
- One subkey for signing protected by passphrase
- One subkey for encryption with private key material stored on a
cryptostick therefore there is a stub here.
I plugged in the CryptoStick and the issued the followed command:
# gpg --import ~/.gnupg/secring.gpg
I only got prompted for the passphrase for the signing key.
Then when I list the private keys I can see them all with a (#) showing
that the private key material is not there.
gpg --list-secret-keys
gpg: NOTE: THIS IS A DEVELOPMENT VERSION!
gpg: It is only intended for test purposes and should NOT be
gpg: used in a production environment or with production keys!
/home/alpha/.gnupg/pubring.gpg
------------------------------
sec# 4096R/C23D45E6 2010-11-07
uid Test Key <test at key.com>
ssb 3072R/4BC5DE67 2010-11-07 [expire : 2014-11-03]
ssb# 3072R/A45B67C8 2010-11-07 [expire : 2014-11-03]
However when trying to decrypt gnupg returns that there is no private key
available for this key. It doesn't aks for the cryptostick as well.
I also used the --edit-key and then 'toggle' to see the stub but couldn't
see it.
Is there a way to transfer a stub over from the previous secring.gpg to the
new private key storage?
Thanks
Alphazo
BTW, gpg --card-status works fine.
