Are you sure that you are using gpg2? private-keys-v1.d only contains private keys for gpg2. gpg1 stores them in ~/.gnupg/secring.gpg or something like that. If enigmail uses gpg2 and you created your key with gpg1, they will not see the same keys. '--version' is your friend. IIRC, using the key

Thanks, I found it myself but since the sender of a mail to the list does not get a copy of it, I could not simply reply. If I use '--list-options show-unusable-subkeys', I see the missing keys, they are simply expired. Sorry to disrupt. Regards, Viktor signature.asc Description: OpenPGP

Hi, is there a possibility to list what each of the private keys in ~/.gnupg/private-keys-v1.d is? Some of them I recognize in the listing of 'gpg --with-keygrip -K', but there are six files in the folder while only three keygrips are shown by the command (one of which is the master key and not

OK, it seems that the actual problem was that --export-secret-subkeys does not work if I leave the passphrase empty. Since my hard disks are encrypted, I usually do not have passphrases for my secret keys and since GnuPG 2.0 this created some problems. When I exported them with a passphrase and
