Hi,
I am using Redhat 9 and GnuPG 1.2.2. I am not able to import public
keys into my keyring. Here is a typical error I get :

$gpg --import redhat2.asc  
gpg: WARNING: using insecure memory!
gpg: please see http://www.gnupg.org/faq.html for more information
gpg: invalid armor header:
mQGiBDfqVDgRBADBKr3Bl6PO8BQ0H8sJoD6p9U7Yyl7pjtZqioviPwXP+DCWd4u8

I get a similar message for _every_ public key I try to import. I have
tried deleting my ~/.gnupg directory and starting from scratch but
that makes no difference.

What could the problem be?
Thanks,

	- Apurva
