Hi all,
I keep getting an error trying to encrypt to the key
0xCC21E10F. The key is self-signed, gpg --check-sigs
does not complain, but still when I try to encrypt
I get:
gpg: 0xCC21E10F: skipped: unusable public key
I am using gpg 1.4.5 on a Linux box (SuSE 10.2).
Could this be a matter of

IIRC, it is not possible to change the capabilities of an
existing key with GPG. Somebody might correct me if I'm wrong.
And yes, the only way to encrypt to this key is to add an
encryption subkey to

Not on that one, it's a RSA key.
But if I see it correctly, it's _no_ v3 key so you can
add a subkey to this key even if it is RSA (which

Only the old PGP 2.x (V3) RSA keys cannot carry subkeys.
and all v3 rsa keys are both sign and encrypt,
but, if anyone prefers not to have subkeys,
gnupg allows v4 rsa keys to be generate as a single key
