Having restored my system, I copied my key files back into ~/.gnupg gpg --list-keys lists all my keys gpg --list-secret finds my secret key However, everytime I want to start gpa, it wants to create a new set of keys and refuses to find any of the existing ones. Any help available? Thanks a lot! -- Hans-Stefan Suhle (email: hss [at] suhle [dot] de) registered Linux user number 256817 http://counter.li.org
