Hi Marko,

how I understood your issue: you have a key, changed it's passphrase and used
it successfully after that. Then, after some time, you could no longer use it
since GnuPG said you entered a "bad passphrase".

If that's correct, here are my thoughts:

- - There is no known passphrase mingling issue with GnuPG, so a passphrase you
  once set should still work, but

- - It could be that you entered it with a different keyboard/lang/codepage
  setting. If you have several locales installed (e.g. in Gnome), please
  figure out which characters could be different.

- - Your key worked for some time and then no more after a while. That might be
  due to gpg-agent that still had your key cached. After cache expiration, it
  reasked for the passphrase.

- - To CREATE a rev cert, you need your secret key and your passphrase.
  To IMPORT an existing rev cert, you don't need a passphrase. That is why
  you should create a rev cert directly after generating a key pair.

- - If your broken key was uploaded on a keyserver and you cannot revoke, it
  will stay "valid" there forever - just add a newer key and live with it.
  If you successfully imported it, mind to upload the revoked public key.

Olav
