Hi, I have been using Tails for a little while, and have a persistent volume working on it. I have set up my own PGP keys which work fine and can be used when I load persitence.
I am having trouble though when I try to import other peoples public PGP keys into Tails. I have tried by copying a key to the clipboard then choosing to Manage Keys, then going to edit -> paste, and I have tried by pasting the key into gedit and saving as a .asc file, and then in Manage Keys going to File -> Import. Trying both of these methods gives the following error: *Import failed: mpi too large for this implementation (27775 bits)* I have also tried just double clicking the .asc file, and this gives the following error: *Import failed: Keys were found but not imported* Everything else seems to be working fine, I can decrypt messages to me using my private key. I have also tried importing the same public keys into another PGP program (gpg4usb) on a WIn7 machine and they imported succesfully and I can use them to encrpt messages. I also tried exporting the keys from that program to a file and then trying to import using that file on Tails, but the same error messages appear. Do you have any suggestions for what the problem may be, or what I am doing wrong? Thanks, Stephen
