aha, this is likely to be the problem! RFC 4880 states that a valid transferable key needs to have at least one User ID: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4880#section-11.1 You can see from your --list-packets dump of subkeys that no user ID is present. (take a look at your example dump from the test account and you'll see an extra user ID and signature packet) > If this lack of UID in the list is related, how can I include my primary > UID with the export? Why is it excluded at all? gpg has some rough edge cases when dealing with changed secret keys. I don't know how you've updated the key, or transferred the key between machines, etc, but it's entirely possible that you ran into something like: https://bugs.gnupg.org/gnupg/issue1543 when combined with a move from a separate home directory. The best advice i know of here is pretty clumsy: i'd use gpgsplit on your two separate files to break out the distinct packets, and then use cat to combine the uid and self-sig packets from the pubkeys file with the secrets from the subkeys file, feeding the result into gpg --import. so something like this: mkdir pubpackets subpackets (cd pubpackets && gpgsplit < ../pubkeys) (cd subpackets && gpgsplit < ../subkeys) cat subpackets/000001-005.secret_key \ pubpackets/000002-013.user_id \ pubpackets/000003-002.sig \ subpackets/000002-007.secret_subkey \ subpackets/000003-002.sig \ subpackets/000004-007.secret_subkey \ subpackets/000005-002.sig \ | gpg --import please let the list know if this works, or if you have any questions about it. regards, --dkg
