The error has change in 2.1 to:
gpg: secret key "foo.gpg" not found: Not found
(i.e., it doesn't say Unknown system error any more.)
The fundamental issue is that the argument to --gen-revoke is not a filename,
but a user id (e.g., the key id). I've accordingly change the error message in
46e128d as follows:
$ gpg2 --output revoke.asc --gen-revoke foo.gpg gpg: no secret key matches the search term "foo.gpg"
https://www.gnupg.org/documentation/manpage.en.html is way out of date. Is
there a way to automatically generate this page (it needs to be converted to the
.org format).
Thank you for pointing out. It was long standing mistake.
Fixed in the repo.
The manual is not maintained anymore and thus we don't apply fixes, sorry.
This is about updating the docs. Will be done for 2.1 only.
Done.
May be close this bug?
Thank you for the feedback.
You're right, I don't kwnow why I didn't see it. I was blocked on the default value.
Thank you for your report.
I think the document is right. Yes, it's somehow confusing.
It explain "two conditions" using GPG default values, but then,
it says : "This example assumes that two marginally-trusted keys
or one fully-trusted key is needed to validate another key.
The maximum path length is three."
It would be better explaining with default values, though.
It is a wiki. please fix yourself. Nio bee for BTS entry. Thanks.
Updated Text to remove extra word 'embedded ' from 5th entry. Send Message to
Most recent editor to confirm if correct.
Ok
No. The website,the manual, and the FAQ will soon be updated.
up
Ok, can I append this information in documentation ? I see the website source
code in git repository. Can I add this contribution ?
You need to know the OpenPGP protocol to understand what this is about. IIRC,
the GPH also explains this.
pub = public key oacket
uid = user id packet
sub = public subkey packet
sec = secret key packet
sbb = secret subkey packet
sig = key signature
Done for 1.4.15 and 2.0.22.
Done for 1.4.15 and 2.0.22.
Will do so.
The option --default-cert-level is described in the manual.
Thus, this bug report is about web.
Changing "category" from gnupg to gpgweb.
Fix in master (ff84d8d). Thanks.
Fixed for 1.4.13 (e3e5406)
Fixed for 2.0.19 (8b9fb19).
