  I ran the command, and got a huge ascii block... so I modified it to:
gpg --export-secret-key --armor > test.asc and got a enarmored block of
ascii characters... a lot longer than a single private key, so maybe it
is the whole private keyring... I will import it in a virtual machine
(with empty keyring), in order to know what is that block...
