Hi,

I'm having some trouble with some pub keys;  I'm using gnupg 0.9.3 as
default, together with pgp 2.6.3i and pgp 5.0i.
¿Could anyone help me with this?

This is the output I *always* obtain for almost any operation with GnuPG:

gpg: Warning: using insecure memory!
gpg: key DDDC215A: secret key without public key - skipped

it complains about the public key not being there - which it is - sometimes
complains about the lack of a self signature for that key.  It is though
recognized by PGP5.0, and the self-signature seems to be there too:

$ pgpk -ll 0xDDDC215A

sec  2048 0xDDDC215A 1998-07-20 ---------- DSS             Sign & Encrypt
f20    Fingerprint20 = 5F11 2DFF E972 CE5D B041  F729 F432 4FE4 DDDC 215A
sub  8192 0x06E9D714 1998-07-20 ---------- Diffie-Hellman
f20    Fingerprint20 = 4AA8 A165 EB10 702A 59D6  A23A 1B20 9898 06E9 D714
uid  Horacio Menezo <homega@correo.com>
SIG       0xDDDC215A 1998-07-20 Horacio Menezo <homega@correo.com>

$ gpg --list-secret-keys

sec  2048D/DDDC215A 1998-07-20 Horacio Menezo <homega@correo.com>
ssb  8192g/06E9D714 1998-07-20

$ gpg --list-keys

but it doesn't find the public key for 0xDDDC215A, so I extract an ascii
copy of it with:

$ pgpk -xa 0xDDDC215A -o file.asc

and try to import it with gnupg:

$ gpg --import file.asc

gpg: Warning: using insecure memory!
gpg: key DDDC215A: secret key without public key - skipped
gpg:horus: key DDDC215A: invalid self-signature
gpg:horus: key DDDC215A: invalid subkey binding
gpg:horus: key DDDC215A: no valid user ids
gpg: this may be caused by a missing self-signature
gpg: Total number processed: 1
gpg:           w/o user IDs: 1

The same occurs if I try to handled this from within mutt (^K keybinding),
though I obtain a little more info:

gpgm: can't handle public key algorithm 192
gpgm: key DDDC215A: secret key without public key - skipped
gpgm: armor header: Version: PGPfreeware 5.0i for non-commercial use
gpgm: armor header: Comment: quis custodiet ipsos custodet

Menezo <homega@correo.com>
gpgm:/tmp/mutt-homega-3301-1: key DDDC215A: invalid self-signature
gpgm:/tmp/mutt-homega-3301-1: key DDDC215A: invalid subkey binding
gpgm:/tmp/mutt-homega-3301-1: key DDDC215A: skipped userid 'Horacio Menezo
<homega@correo.com>'
gpgm:/tmp/mutt-homega-3301-1: key DDDC215A: no valid user ids
gpgm: this may be caused by a missing self-signature
gpgm: Total number processed: 1
gpgm:           w/o user IDs: 1

And the same goes on for someone else's public key I'm trying to add to
pubring.gpg (or pubring.pkr, or pubring.pgp, since gnupg seems to handle all
at once).

TIA

Horacio
