Hi!

I have the problem that I cannot longer export my gnupg key as I always
get the following error message

# gpg --armor --export .gnupg/secring.gpg
gpg: [don't know]: invalid packet (ctb=20)
gpg: WARNING: nothing exported
gpg: key export failed: invalid packet

# gpg --list-keys
/home/jhs/.gnupg/pubring.gpg

sub   1024g/35A90063 2004-09-21

gpg: mpi too large for this implementation (28015 bits)
gpg: keyring_get_keyblock: read error: invalid packet
gpg: keydb_get_keyblock failed: invalid keyring


Encryption and decryption work fine. Would be nice if anyone could give
me a hint how to rescue my key.

Thanks,
Johannes
