I'm not sure what to tell you about this. It looks to me like something is wrong with your /tmp/xxx but i don't have a copy of it so i can't reproduce the behavior you describe. Have you tried the script /usr/bin/migrate-pubring-from-classic-gpg ? it is intended specifically for the use case here (converting from pubring.gpg to pubring.kbx). have you tried to do this import while working from a clean GNUPGHOME? Does it still misbehave? If you'd like to send me a copy of your /tmp/xxx (feel free to encrypt it to 0x0EE5BE979282D80B9F7540F1CCD2ED94D21739E9 and send it to my private e-mail if you don't want to publish it) i can try to take a look at duplicating the problem. > But --import-options import-export successfully export a GPG > traditional pubring file (not a GPG keybox) containing the 124 > signatures. gpg's export functionality has never been intended to export anything but a sequence of OpenPGP packets. a keybox is *not* a sequence of OpenPGP packets, so you shouldn't expect it to be produced by gpg export. > See also: #841103 This was a bug report about dirmngr hanging, which i think was the same thing as #840680, and should be resolved. You seem to be implying that they're the same thing, but i don't understand why. I don't think dirmngr is involved at all in gpg --import. Do you think dirmngr is involved here? --dkg
