Hi,
I think as a newbie I was confused because --list-packets and BC
API printed two different ID's. Correct me if I am wrong.
It looks like when I use a user id like this and encrypt
gpg --output readme.gpg --recipient [email protected] --encrypt
CHANGE.txt
the output from "--list-packets readme.gpg" is 2048-bit RSA key, ID
6540BD43, created 2010-02-11 (main key ID 202AAEDC)
but when I use code like this to get a key for encrption
while ( rings.hasNext()) {
PGPPublicKeyRing ring = (PGPPublicKeyRing) rings.next();
key = ring.getPublicKey();
if( null == key ){
throw new
KeyNotFoundException();
}
for( Iterator userIds = key.getUserIDs() ;
userIds.hasNext() ; ){
userId = ( String )userIds.next();
}
//Read from properties file
if( userId.equals( "[email protected]"
)){
break;
}
}
The output from --list-packets is 2048-bit RSA key, ID 202AAEDC, created
2010-02-11
So it looks like in the first instance it shows the sub-key but in the
second case it seems to be showing the main key.
Thanks,
Mohan

Is "--try-all-secrets" not helping you?
