After a chat on the gnupg IRC channel, I found out that the backup gpg made was only partial. It was for one of my secret subkeys.
$ gpg --list-keys [...] pub 2048R/5BFA8C2E 2010-10-01 uid Osama Khalid (osamak) <osa...@gnu.org> sub 1024R/567A2834 2010-10-01 sub 2048R/D023251F 2010-10-01 $ gpg sk_<...>.gpg sec 1024R/567A2834 2010-10-01 $ The primary secret key is not included in the "sk_<...>.gpg" file. I wonder why gpg would suggest that "backup of card key saved to <...>/sk_<...>.gpg". Am I missing something here? --Osama Khalid _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
