That was the name of the file in the current directory when I ran the command. I tried some other names as well. I suspect that it has to do with being a very old key. It might be specifically related to the key using idea. gpg can work with the key (after creating a library for handling idea). My plan is to test a new key and see if this hypothesis passes that test. If so it's really way past time that I changed the key anyway, and doing that might be the simplest solution. Maybe I'll bugzilla the less than revealing error message (even with -vv). -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
