This is a serious warning that your secret keys could end up in a disk swapfile or whatever. If you're happy to live with that risk (e.g. on a standalone private workstation) then you can put no-secmem-warning in .gnupg/options to make it go away.

(I think) this means there was no signature path from your key to your friend's key. If you are sure the key is legit, sign it, and the warning message will go away. Dave -- Dave Holland -<>- Systems Administrator -<>- Incyte Genetics, Cambridge, UK
