The GNU Privacy Handbook - possible error in the key integraty section example

[Herbert Straub]

Hallo,

the German translation of this handbook does'nt contain equal parts in the
section: 3. Key Management / Key-Integrity. Werner Koch answer in the gnupg-users list, that the german examples are using own keys. Therefore the explanation text of the example contains the wrong key id in the german translation. I suggest an update of the key id.  Details:

The example in the english version:

chloe% gpg --edit-key chloe
Secret key is available.

pub  1024D/26B6AAE1  created: 1999-06-15 expires: never      trust: -/u
sub  2048g/0CF8CB7A  created: 1999-06-15 expires: never
sub  1792G/08224617  created: 1999-06-15 expires: 2002-06-14
sub   960D/B1F423E7  created: 1999-06-15 expires: 2002-06-14
(1)  Chloe (Jester) <chloe at cyb.org>
(2)  Chloe (Plebian) <chloe at tel.net>

Command> check
uid  Chloe (Jester) <chloe at cyb.org>
sig!           26B6AAE1 1999-06-15         [self-signature]
uid  Chloe (Plebian) <chloe at tel.net>
sig!           26B6AAE1 1999-06-15         [self-signature]

As expected, the signing key for each signature is the master signing key with
key ID 0x26B6AAE1.


And now the same section in the german version:

chloe$  gpg --edit-key chloe
geheimer Schlüssel ist vorhanden.

(2)  Chloe (Freie Autorin) <chloe at tel.net>

Befehl> check
uid  Chloe (Journalistin) <chloe at cyb.org>
sig!       1B087D04 2000-06-07   [Eigenbeglaubigung]
uid  Chloe (Freie Autorin) <chloe at tel.net>
sig!       1B087D04 2000-06-07   [Eigenbeglaubigung]

Wie erwartet, wird für jede Unterschrift der primäre Schlüssel mit der
Schlüssel-ID 0x26B6AAE1 genommen.

Look at the Key 0x26B6AAE1. The german version does'nt have it.  I think, it should be 0x1B087D04.

2. The header specify the  <gnupg-doc.de at gnupg.org> mailinglist, but Werner said, that this list was closed, due to inactivity. I suggest to update this to <gnupg-doc at gnupg.org>

Below a patch file (diff to the current cvs version of the gph)

Thanks
Herbert Straub
