Dear Listers,
I solved my problem (see at the bottom). But first the SUM of the answers I
got:
No answers, nor reactions oder hints :(
The solution was:
I had to delete the .gnupg-directory in my home directory. It seems like I
copied old settings from Debian to Ubuntu taht caused the troubles.
Cheers.

Dear Listers,
I am a plain user of gnupg and new to this list. SO I would like to greet
you first.
Now the problem: I found some discussions about the invalid packet
(ctb=2d) thing but none of it helped me.
I have been running gpg with the same keys since 2003. I started to use
them on SuSE 7 and Win2K. Then I moved to Debian without a problem. Now I
had a disc crash recently and switched to ubuntu. When I try to import or
use my old keys I get this:
---snip

The keys where transfered from my external HD (backup) with all the other
stuff in my home directory.
Some weeks ago I tried import a copy the keys I still had on a W2K machine
at work. Same error.
Today I thought I will use the weekend to fix the problem. One of my
guesses is that there are conflicts between my new ubuntu and the old stuff
I got from my backup done on Debian Sarge?!? So I wanted to erase gpg
completly and then reinstall it. But there are billions of dependencies ...
What should I do?
Thanks in advance and cheers,
Seb
