I tried your solution with half success:

---
remote@dimension:~$ gpg --list-key
...
pub  1024D/4C7461CF 2002-10-22 Nicolas Couture <nc@stormvault.net>
sub  1024g/87018F83 2002-10-22 [expires: 2006-06-20]
sub  2048g/9FDDA627 2002-10-22 [expires: 2006-06-20]
...
remote@dimension:~$ gpg --edit-key nc@stormvault.net
...
Secret key is available.

I can not use delkey specifying the keyid 87018F83
---
Command> delkey 87018F83
You must select at least one key.

I even tried delkey nc@stormvault.net and it gave me the same error
message.

Thanks in advance!
