-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: RIPEMD160 Hi Marko,
how I understood your issue: you have a key, changed it's passphrase and used it successfully after that. Then, after some time, you could no longer use it since GnuPG said you entered a "bad passphrase". If that's correct, here are my thoughts: - - There is no known passphrase mingling issue with GnuPG, so a passphrase you once set should still work, but - - It could be that you entered it with a different keyboard/lang/codepage setting. If you have several locales installed (e.g. in Gnome), please figure out which characters could be different. - - Your key worked for some time and then no more after a while. That might be due to gpg-agent that still had your key cached. After cache expiration, it reasked for the passphrase. - - To CREATE a rev cert, you need your secret key and your passphrase. To IMPORT an existing rev cert, you don't need a passphrase. That is why you should create a rev cert directly after generating a key pair. - - If your broken key was uploaded on a keyserver and you cannot revoke, it will stay "valid" there forever - just add a newer key and live with it. If you successfully imported it, mind to upload the revoked public key.
