No, I didn't and I deleted the keyrings and the trustdb, so how could gpg know? I tried a lot of combinations and found, that the message comes only, when a new (meaning not in the pubring) public key is imported directly or via keyserver and there is no ultimately trusted public key in the pubring. This does not depend on the existence of a secret key. It is independent of the used keyserver, the preferences and whether the imported key was made with gpg 1.0.7 - 1.4.2 or pgp. This is true for gpg 1.4.2 under Win95 and WinXP. Until now I could not test it under Linux. But the strange line comes not, when I generate new key pairs, export, transport the ascii files internally and '--import' them. It doesn't matter on which system (Win95, WinXP, Linux) or program (gpg1.0.7 -1.4.2, pgp) the keys are generated. Interestingly there is a difference, whether I use '--import' to get a key from a 'key.asc' or '--recv-key' to import it from a keyserver. It reproducibly asks for two different, not existing keys. On WinXP it is always 0022FB70 when a key gets '--import'ed and 0022FA10 when it is '--recv-key'ed. It is the same for Win95, but with other key IDs: 0080F760 for '--import' and 0080F8F0 for '--recv-key'.
