Trustdb is corrupted.

[Morten Liebach]

Hi.

I'm having problems with lbdb.

In the process of trying to fix it I tried to run
'gpg --list-keys --with-colons', which is the command lbdb calls gpg
with.

It output my keyring as it should, and then at the end, last line:

gpg: the trustdb is corrupted; please run "gpg --fix-trustdb".[1]

I try "gpg --fix-trustdb", but get:

gpg: this command ist not yet implemented."
gpg: A workaround is to use "--export-ownertrust", remove
gpg: the trustdb file and do an "--import-ownertrust".

OK, I do as it says, "gpg --export-ownertrust", and I get this:

# List of assigned trustvalues, created ons 23 aug 2000 13:00:00 CEST
# (Use "gpg --import-ownertrust" to restore them)

That's OK, I haven't assigned trust to anyone yet, so it's as it should
be, and I make a trust.txt file out of the above, backup the corrupt
trustdb.gpg (out of principle) and remove the original, then do a
'gpg --import-ownertrust trust.txt'.
All my keys scroll by with the message "inserted into trustdb", and then
in the end I get:

gpg: trust record 1793, req type 3: read failed: trust database error
gpg: the trustdb is corrupted; please run "gpg --fix-trustdb".

Man, can I do nothing right!?
I don't want to enter that loop.
I simply don't understand, and I hope someone can help me, or tell me
what's going on.

Oh yeah, versions of my stuff:

morten@pc89225:~$ gpg --version
gpg (GnuPG) 1.0.1
 <Copyright message snipped>
Home: ~/.gnupg
Supported algorithms:
Cipher: 3DES, CAST5, BLOWFISH, TWOFISH
Pubkey: ELG-E, DSA, ELG
Hash: MD5, SHA1, RIPEMD160

morten@pc89225:~$ uname -a
Linux pc89225 2.2.17 #1 tir aug 1 00:04:55 CEST 2000 i586 unknown

morten@pc89225:~$ cat /etc/debian_version 
2.2

It's the stock Debian Potato package of GnuPG, and I use LANG=da_DK and
LC_ALL=da_DK, to explain the date-formats and such ....

I've been very verbose here, I hope it's OK, and I hope I've not
overlooked something terribly obvious!

Regards
