I have here a private key that gpg won't import.

The problem with the error message is it's wrong. I have hand verified
the packet structure
is correct. The file can be imported by https://github.com/mattosaurus/
pgpcore (which isn't
where it came from) and the resulting imported key is a working key.
This is a test key file being imported into a test keyring; I don't mind
publishing the private key
in entirety.
Apologies for the headerless base64, gpg won't armor the file for me
So you have twoerrors with the gpg installation that you have..
How did you install it and what version is this?
