This will work, but you don't actually have to do it.  The most
recently added user ID is automatically treated as the primary if
there is no primary set.  If you want to set it anyway, just select
the new uid ("uid 1") and enter "primary".

You select the user id with "uid x" where x is the number of the user
ID.  Then "revuid".
