The problem is, my original key was made with pgp 5.0, which though an RSA key, was not viewable by 2.6.3 (it complained about newer version key), so I made a new key with 2.6.3. I can use now the debian tools, but I had to add the new key to the public servers (how do I remove the old one from the public servers?) and now I cannot read encrypted messages from some friends of mine that had DSS keys. Oh, well, I cannot have it all. -- Konstantinos Margaritis
