Re: Delete secret key without public key

2010-03-25 Thread André Ludwig
Thank you very much. Exporting my public keys from my secret keyring with 
gpgsplit and reimporting these public keys helped me deleting it "the usual 
way".

It's not useless.

Gnupg secret keys already include the public key and automatically 
extract it when only the secret key is imported.

Try this:

[1] export your secret key
[2] re-import it

Gnupg will automatically extract the public key and add it to your 
keyring.

(hope it's not too late, and you can still do it from your keyring 
or a backup ;-) )

I think this solves your problem:

gpg --keyid-format long --edit-key ...
