Your selection? DSA keypair will have 1024 bits.
About to generate a new ELG-E keypair.
minimum keysize is 768 bits
default keysize is 1024 bits
highest suggested keysize is 2048 bits
What keysize do you want? (1024) Requested keysize is 1024 bits Please specify how long the key should be valid.
0 = key does not expire
<n> = key expires in n days
<n>w = key expires in n weeks
<n>m = key expires in n months
<n>y = key expires in n years
Key is valid for? (0) Key does not expire at all
Is this correct (y/n)? y
You need a User-ID to identify your key; the software constructs the user id
from Real Name, Comment and Email Address in this form:
"Heinrich Heine (Der Dichter) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>"
Real name: Foo Bar
Email address: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Comment: You selected this USER-ID:
"Foo Bar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>"
Change (N)ame, (C)omment, (E)mail or (O)kay/(Q)uit? o
You need a Passphrase to protect your secret key.
We need to generate a lot of random bytes. It is a good idea to perform some other action (type on the keyboard, move the mouse, utilize the disks) during the prime generation; this gives the random number generator a better chance to gain enough entropy. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++.++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++.++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++>.++++++++++...........................................................................................................................+++++ We need to generate a lot of random bytes.

I did all the foregoing as directed, but my output stops at "public and secret key created and signed." I don't get the keys displayed and my .gnupg directory (and the local dir) doesn't seem to contain any keys. Any ideas? Running Debian stable. Running gpg 1.0.6.
