GnuPG needs to construct a user ID to identify your key.
Real name: abcdef
Email address: abcdef@gmail.com
You selected this USER-ID:
"abcdef <abcdef@gmail.com>"
Change (N)ame, (E)mail, or (O)kay/(Q)uit? O
We need to generate a lot of random bytes. It is a good idea to perform
some other action (type on the keyboard, move the mouse, utilize the
disks) during the prime generation; this gives the random number
generator a better chance to gain enough entropy.

[GNUPG:] KEY_NOT_CREATEDI am suspecting it's because of forward slashes in my hostname. However, I can't change hostname as of now, is there any alternative for key generation. Also, I tried import key which also fails with same error on not able to create the lock file.
