Hi,

I've been playing around a bit with your public key file. I do not know the
cause, but the following gave me the fingerprint:
(watch out with the rm if you repeat this verbatim, it is more for
illustration of method than to copy literally)

$ gpg --dearmour test
$ gpgsplit test.gpg
$ rm *.sig
$ cat 00* >test-nosig.gpg
$ gpg --with-fingerprint test-nosig.gpg
pub  1024D/4E754BED 1999-11-16 Rainer W. Gerling <dsb at gv.mpg.de>
      Key fingerprint = EB96 7ACE 1466 DA7E 48B8  261E DC77 8B07 4E75 4BED
uid                            Rainer W. Gerling <dsb at mpg-gv.mpg.de>
uid                            Rainer W. Gerling <gerling at gv.mpg.de>
uid                            Rainer W. Gerling <gerling at mpg-gv.mpg.de>


In other words, when I delete all the signatures from the file, the
fingerprint does show up. Maybe someone with proper knowledge of it all can
use this hint to determine the problem.

By the way, let me be the first to say that in scripts you should probably use
$ gpg --with-fingerprint --with-colons <keyfile
because the --with-colons is intended for machine use, and what you are
using is for the human eye, which adapts a bit better to changed output.

Good luck,

Peter.
