Hey Werner,
Thanks for the response!
refreshing the keys fails.
$ gpg2 --refresh-keys
an mpi of size 0 is not allowed
gpg: keyring_get_keyblock: read error: Invalid packet
Incidently this problem was reported to me yesterday and figured out
that the http key helper tool did not worked at all. Teh windows
socket
layer was not initialized and at another point we did a dup for a
socket
which is not going to work.
uh! ....but then using hkp should work for the update, right?
I don't know why this bug lurked around for
so long. It might be that gpg2 accidently used the gpg1 key helper
tools (which works) or that we only tested direct hkp server and
finger
support.
But actually I don't think this is download related.
$ gpg2 --list-keys

Seems like also other people run into it

Fankly speaking - it awfully reminds me on a problem I run into with
1.x before ...that was fixed in later releases of 1.x

And even importing a file that (at least) looks perfectly OK gives me
$ gpg2 --import msg.asc
gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found.
gpg: Total number processed: 0
This is GnuPG 2.0.8 on OSX 10.5.2 installed via MacPorts
Well, this is anotehr problem. I bet the msg.asc is not okay or there
is a problem with the MacPorts version of gpg2.
