Sometime recently my gnupg keyring got stuffed. When I try to access keys now I get the following output:
gpg: checking the trustdb gpg: mpi larger than indicated length (2 bytes) gpg: keyring_get_keyblock: read error: invalid packet gpg: keyring_get_keyblock failed: invalid keyring gpg: failed to rebuild keyring cache: invalid keyring gpg: 3 marginal(s) needed, 1 complete(s) needed, classic trust model gpg: mpi larger than indicated length (2 bytes) gpg: keyring_get_keyblock: read error: invalid packet gpg: keydb_get_keyblock failed: invalid keyring gpg: validate_key_list failed Keys which are already in the cache (like the one signing this mail) are still accessible. But any new keys are imported fine, but then don't appear for use; presumably it's using the last "good" cache. Suggestions on what I should do now? Anyone know a way to "fix" the keyring? Or should I just export my keys (pub and private), wipe the keyring, and start over? Thanks in advance -- Peter Howard [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jabber Id: [EMAIL PROTECTED] AIM Id: pjhacnau
