on debian and derived systems, you can also use the helper tool: migrate-pubring-from-classic-gpg which should be slightly more robust and also simpler to use than the multistep sequence outlined in the FAQ. > For more information see: > > https://dev.gnupg.org/T3123 > > Packagers, please cherry-pick the following fix: > > https://dev.gnupg.org/rG22739433e98be80e46fe7d01d52a9627c1aebaae Debian-specific note: 2.1.20 is only in debian's experimental repository; the above patch should be present in 2.1.20-4, which was uploaded to the experimental repo yesterday. If you're running any previous version of 2.1.20 from experimental, please upgrade! thanks for the heads-up, Justus! --dkg
