Hi
I am trying to play around with keys Alice and Bob for showing to my
employer on how to improve security. "Alice" is the employer, and
"bob" the employee.
I created a key for each, on separate machines. Alice runs RedHat 4,
and gpg v1.2.6. Bob runs Cygwin and GnuPG v.1.4.11.
Alice's key was giving problems, so, on Alice's machine (which
contains her private key), i did `rm -fr $HOME/.gnupg`, then generated
a new key.
On Bob's machine, I deleted Alice's key (using WinPT's GUI interface,
which should not matter much), and imported her "new" public key.
now, whenever I try to encrypt to user "alice" It fails, saying
encryption failed: public key not found
The public key is there! But it has a different fingerprint
(17D11744). GPG is looking for Alice's Old hash fingerprint
(DE0155B3). How can I remedy this?
