Hi,

I'm trying to import a very large public key
(http://pgp5.ai.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xFAEBD5FC 
pub  1024/FAEBD5FC 1997/04/07 Philip R. Zimmermann <prz@acm.org>
                              Philip R. Zimmermann <prz@pgp.com> ). 

Am I doing something wrong?

And it seems that the --fix-trustdb command is not yet implemented.


I'm using GPG under FreeBSD (2.2.7-RELEASE FreeBSD 2.2.7-RELEASE #0):
