Hi,

I have tested this for you with my Yubikey 5 NFC.
It worked like a charme. I can now move my 4096 RSA keys to my Yubikey
without any problem.

You have to enter in admin to enable `key-attr` command in the gpg console:

$ gpg --edit-card
gpg/card> admin
gpg/card> key-attr

Perhaps a more explicit error message could be a good thing.

Valentin.
