This *appears* to work locally, but if I export the keypair and then
import it into another gnupg keyring on a different box (still running
1.4.9, though) the primary UID defaults to whichever UID was created
last rather than the one selected as primary.
While I know that different implementations of PGP aren't required to
honor the primary UID, shouldn't gnupg honor its own? Why isn't the
primary UID being exported, and what can I do about it?
I suspect that the primary UID is not actually being set somehow. Can
you reply with "before" and "after" examples of a key (you can just
make a dummy key for this if you like) when you try and set the
primary UID?
Do:
gpg --export (thekey) | gpg --list-packets
for both. You're looking for a subpacket marked "Primary user ID".
