Dear gnupg users/developers,

I get strange errormessages when listing keys, e.g.:

$ gpg --list-key doesnotexist
gpg: Oops: keyid_from_fingerprint: no pubkey
gpg: Oops: keyid_from_fingerprint: no pubkey
gpg: key 0x00000000 occurs more than once in the trustdb
gpg: Oops: keyid_from_fingerprint: no pubkey
gpg: key 0x00000000 occurs more than once in the trustdb
gpg: Oops: keyid_from_fingerprint: no pubkey
gpg: key 0x00000000 occurs more than once in the trustdb
gpg: Oops: keyid_from_fingerprint: no pubkey
gpg: key 0x00000000 occurs more than once in the trustdb
gpg: Oops: keyid_from_fingerprint: no pubkey
gpg: key 0x00000000 occurs more than once in the trustdb
gpg: error reading key: public key not found

This strange key 0x00000000 is not deletable:

p$ gpg --delete-keys 0x00000000
gpg: key "0x00000000" not found: eof
gpg: 0x00000000: delete key failed: eof


Any ideas, how to get rid of this?



Ciao, Gregor
