Description

I cannot retrieve the fingerprint information from this key file:

    $ gpg --output 0xBB065B251FF4945B.gpg --export 0xBB065B251FF4945B
    $ gpg --with-colons --with-fingerprint 0xBB065B251FF4945B.gpg
    pub:-:2048:1:BB065B251FF4945B:2008-07-27:::f:

    sub:-:2048:1:16C018D9B89B420A:2008-07-27::::

There should exist an "^fpr" line in the output. Compare to:

    $ gpg --output 0x4713D527ECE16009.gpg --export 0x4713D527ECE16009
    $ gpg --with-colons --with-fingerprint 0x4713D527ECE16009.gpg

Of the 453 keys in my public keyring, this happens on the following 8 keys.

    0x072DC7442B89BD45
    0x14774C7B9958256C
    0x4B2A4897D39DA0E3
    0x63E42BD8C58C753A
    0x677A7DE8CC9A6F67
    0x6FA1B04BB6724E04
    0x9710B89BCA57AD7C
    0xBB065B251FF4945B

From discussion on the mailing list, it appears that this is due to the keys having a direct signature on
the key, which could be possibly getting in the way of formatting the output correctly.

I have both versions 1.4.16 and 2.0.22 installed, and it appears to be affected with both.

Fixed for 2.0. But take care: The code now also uses the fixed-list-mode which
is the default in --list-keys for ages:
