Package: gnupg
Version: 1.4.9-4
Severity: normal
It seems that neither :
$ gpg --gen-key --secret-keyring /media/whatever/.gnupg-secret/secring.gpg
nor
$ gpg --secret-keyring /media/whatever/.gnupg-secret/secring.gpg --gen-key
allow to generate the new secret key in another keyring than
~/.gnupg/secring.gpg
Maybe --secret-keyring is only for other commands ?
To me this looks like a bug.
Hope this helps.

Closing as this is not a bug. Thanks David.
