This is far easier than to play with all the options and it allows you to use gpgme. Another option is to import the key and then delete it if you don't want it. However, we have a --merge-only option but not a --only-new-key-option. Shalom-Salam, Werner -- Die Gedanken sind frei.

Reading key capabilities information before importing a key
Hello all, I'm trying to find a way to list the key capabilities of a key before importing it. I can obtain some basic information by using the command (I've seen this one in the mailing list archives): gpg2 --with-colons test.key The only catch being that the above command will not list the key capabilities for the keys contained in a file. Any way to obtain this information without importing the key into keyring? I'm using GnuPG 2.0.19 with libgcrypt 1.5.0 on Debian Wheezy 64-bit.
