This was fixed with version 1.0.7 about 3 years ago. gpg won't set the ownertrust of an imported key; the user is expected to do it.

I think there used to be a restriction that "gpg --import secretkey.gpg" wouldn't work without setting a special option. Is importing secret keys by accident no longer considered a risk? ___ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users

IIRC most code is already there as we do something similar with card backup keys. Won't go into 1.4.2 though. At least not offically because it is "strings-frozen" to allow for proper and complete translations.

GnuPG does not currently support merging secret subkeys. To do it, you need to delete the secret key on the second machine and re-import the whole key.
