  Well, I made a mistake again... but the manual in that URL doesn't
show RSA keys... and when I executed the command gpg --gen-key I get the
following options:

(1) DSA and ElGamal (default)
(2) DSA (sign only)
(5) RSA (sign only)

  But maybe I have messed the config file, and it is just my computer
the one acting like that...
