Hi,

I have created a master key along with a subkey for authenticating and a subkey for signing.

I copied the subkeys to my smartcard (Nitrokey Pro 2) using gpg2 --edit-key 93DA8C1D and did not enter save thereafter, but deleted them manually using gpg2 --card-edit.

I deleted the master private key.

gpg2 -k 93DA8C1D

gpg2 -K no private keys are visible.

What have I missed? I read online the stubs are generated automatically with the above command.

Thank you.
