please don't script based on the output of gpg without using
--with-colons.  the "human-readable" form is subject to change, but
--with-colons offers a stable API. 

so a stable bash script would look something like:

  for fpr in $(gpg --with-colons --list-keys | \
               awk -F: '/^fpr:/{ print $10 }'); do \
      gpg --edit-key "fpr" clean save; done

hope this helps,

     --dkg
