Importing GPG Key
- by Bodo
I have problems importing my GPG-Keys into my new installation of debian. I exportet the private-key a few years ago. Now I am trying to get everything running under a new debian.
I tried to do
gpg --allow-secret-key-import --import private-key.asc
But I only get this:
gpg: Keine gültigen OpenPGP-Daten gefunden.
gpg: Anzahl insgesamt bearbeiteter Schlüssel: 0
which translates to:
gpg: No valid OpenPGP-Data found
gpg: Number of processed Keys : 0
The file looks correct and starts with
--BEGIN PGP PRIVATE KEY BLOCK-----
Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux)
and ends with
-----END PGP PRIVATE KEY BLOCK-----
what could be wrong?
