Importing a secret kyber cert results in an IPC error (only seen in audit log, no error communicated on import):
{F34547185}
The secret subkey is not imported though:
- Import of "Backup Secret Keys" file
{F34547253}
- Import of "Save Team Key" file with signing key
{F34547313}
To reproduce (applies to non team keys, too, but team keys have more options to test):
1. Create a new openpgp key pair (kyber, team, no passphrase)
2. Export the secret cert
1. via "Backup Secret Keys"
2. via "Save Secret Team Key" with signing key
3. via "Save Secret Team Key" without signing key
3. Kill processes and delete the gpghome folder
4. Import one of the exported files
5. Confirm ownership
6. Check the audit log -> `IPC parameter error`
Note: Import via `gpg` cli does work as expected.
