Ok, yeah trying to import separately did not work, still refuses the
secret key. The key should be valid because it was created a few days
ago in the pgp desktop 10.3.2 program. BUT if I import the entire
keyring (.skr) file ALL my secret keys are imported with no problem
which cannot be done for keys I make for others.
All the other info you told me is like greek to me, I do not understand
a bit of it.
So is there a way you can make gpg accept it? Since apparently the pgp
desktop is probably being used by a lot of people and it is only a
matter of time until someone tries to import it into Thunderbird and
faces the same problem. I used to us Microsoft Outlook and their
openpgp plugin "Encryptomatic" accepts the key with no problem. So is
there a way you can come out with a new version that will accept these keys?
The test.asc is the concatenation of two armored PGP keyblocks. The first is a secret key block and the second a public key block. The secret key block includes all information from the public key block and thus only the secret key block is required. BUT: The secret key block is not standard conform because it does not include any binding signature (neither for the user-id nor for the subkey).
TPK ?
TPS ?
And attached is a test key.
Ok here is the output:
C:\Users\croll>gpg --import "Desktop\Charles Rollins.asc"
gpg: key C7EE3D25FF2E5EF5: no valid user IDs
gpg: this may be caused by a missing self-signature

What is meant by missing self signature? I signed it before exporting it.

i don't understand why "import-drop-uids" is useful -- it sounds to me like the functionality you're looking for is something more accurately named "accept-certs-without-uids". is that right?
Further testing leads me to believe that this is probably a Kleopatra / QGpgME / Qt issue. I can pretty reliably reproduce this when using Kleopatra but never have I gotten this with gpgtar only, and I tested it a lot of times.
The difference is between: 0x01035400 and 0x01034600 where 7 blocks of zero bytes are in the broken archive which are not present in the original file.
Kleopatra now shows an error in this case when extracting. So now we only need to fix that this happens at all.
- I'd like to suggest to include a mail alias "paypal@gnupg.org".
We are currently not aware of any bugs that would prevent the import of valid secret keys.
Thanks for fixing that.
Thank you very much for the analysis. I'll forward the info.
That's my badness. In wait_child_thread, assuan_release may cause thread context switch to agent_reset_scd which accesses scd_local_list; This access should be serialized.
And... in start_scd, calling unlock_scd should be after unlocking start_scd_lock.

The creating software is broken in regard to non-ASCII characters in the UID:
Metazoa (Ingo Bläser) quote busy. Promised to send an offer with a brief concept "in March". I will ping him.
Something to add: This also affects deleted drafts. If I write a new email and decide to delete & not send it, Outlook saves the aborted draft in the trash without encryption.
ssh does nut support brainpool curves and thus GnuPG does not know how to map its internal name of the curve to the name as specified by ssh. GnuPG supports these curves:

Ouch indeed. Looks like you run into a "hanging" gpg-agent situation in that case our main background process is blocked and all other processes wait for it to respond and nothing works anymore.
This should never happen and we need to fix it. But so far we have not found a way to reproduce it.
There was indeed a missing dependency. libgpg-error and libassuan were only installed if GPGME was installed, so only if Kleopatra or GPA were selected.
Somehow I thought that storing drafts locally was not only configurable but the default. But you are right, I also can't find a way to change the storage location.
Hi,
sorry for the late reply. I cannot reproduce the issue.
If there is a way to disable sychronisation of the draft folder in Outlook 2019 when using IMAP, it could mentioned in the meantime, but I couldnt find it.
Also reported for Contacts in T4161.
I think that this is the same as T4388 So I'm merging it in.
Regarding 1. That is currently not possible. It is something we should have but which we did not yet implement. I'll move this out into a feature request.
Btw. I'll try to get a new release out this week. In the meantime either downgrade to 3.1.5 or use Kleopatra.
Jep that was part of Gpg4win as Gpg4win needed features / fixes from that version.

Hello in the meantime thank you for the help I sent the command and I come out the same as the example you sent me change only rsa4096 that I set voluntarily when creating the key. I realized now read well that I mistakenly indicated the wrong e-mail address is it possible to correct it? if I can send you a screenshot. let me know
GPGME 1.12.1-beta43 is nowhere near the current master. Current is around 1.12.1-beta130 (or above) and beta 43 would've been months ago, probably early November or late October.
