Hello, For some reason (perhaps a bug in a previous version of GnuPG I used long ago?), my public key ring had come to contain my own public key twice, with the same fingerprint and all.
Consequently, ‘gpg --list-keys’ would show it twice and ‘gpg --list-secret-keys’ as well. Even ‘gpg --export-secret-key’ would export it twice (two secret key packets). I didn’t notice until I upgraded to Emacs 27.1, where epg bails out if ‘--list-secret-keys’ returns more than one key. To recover from it, I deleted my public key with ‘--delete-key’ twice, ‘--delete-secret-key’ once for the corresponding secret key, and then re-imported both the public key and the secret key, which I had previously exported. Now everything is back to normal. I’m not sure what could be done in gpg itself, but I thought I’d share my experience in case that rings a bell or there’s something obvious I missed. Cheers, Ludo’. _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
