Error importing public key

Hi,

My partner sent me an ASCII-armored PGP public key (the attached file) that had been generated using GnuPG v2.0.12. Then I failed to import that key to the GnuPG 2.0.12 at my side (I used the GPA 0.9.0 interface in the Gpg4win package 2.0.1) - I got the error message "No OpenPGP data".

Could you take a look at the issue to see what happened?

Thanks,
Viet

Well, what I had when I saved it was one long line of unicode with embedded CRs.

Breaking up the lines and removing the unicode header I got a file that would
import.

Was the original key sent from a Mac?

Re: Error importing public key [In reply to]

Hi,

I don't know if the original key was from a Mac. I got no issues when I imported the original key to PGP Desktop (v9.8). The original key can be also read by the PGPdump tool (http://www.pgpdump.net/) without any issues.

Might there be any bugs in GnuPG 2.0.12? As the key was generated by GnuPG 2.0.12, but then couldn't be imported to GnuPG 2.0.12 ...

Regards,
Viet
