(Please try to use the fingerprint instead of the key_id.)

There is actually a better way since 2.1.23:

   gpg --with-colons --import-options show-only --import <keyfile

If your version is older but newer than 2.1.14:

   gpg --with-colons --import-options import-show --dry-run --import <keyfile

Note that you will also see the fingerprints of the subkeys, but the
first "fpr" line is always the one of the primary key.


Salam-Shalom,
