Try either putting the line
enable-dsa2
in your gpg.conf file or on the commandline add the command

Thanks for help and info, to You and anybody who explained connected
issues. :)

I generated a gpg key using 'gpg --gen-key' (using GPG 1.4.6). What
concerns me is that no matter how strong agorithm would I choose, it
doesn't affect the size of the public private key. It's probably ok,
but I wonder - how safe is the private key having exported ASCII
signature sized circa 2600

A 2048-bit number is just 256 bytes of data. There's a lot of stuff

If your traffic is encrypted with even a 1k key, the likelihood of
someone attacking your traffic cryptanalytically is about zero.

Maybe you should consider upgrading to 1.4.9, if possible...
If you don't have enabled dsa2 at gpg.conf file, DSA keys can be just

There are some ancient keys out there which are 512 bits (and I think
I've seen smaller). Are these likely still secure enough to use?
Depends on your threat model. Secure against a casual snoop? Probably.
Secure against someone who knows what they're doing and is
