[Bug 1209394] Re: Typo in option selecting kind of key

[Seth Arnold]

"RSA and RSA" is correct; please note from keygen.c, where I've marked
with NOTE HERE:

...
  tty_printf(_("Please select what kind of key you want:\n"));
  if (!addmode)
    tty_printf (_("   (%d) RSA and RSA (default)\n"), 1 );
  if ( !addmode )
    tty_printf (_("   (%d) DSA and Elgamal\n"), 2 );

  tty_printf(    _("   (%d) DSA (sign only)\n"), 3 );
  tty_printf(    _("   (%d) RSA (sign only)\n"), 4 );

  if (addmode)
    {
      tty_printf (_("   (%d) Elgamal (encrypt only)\n"), 5 );
      tty_printf (_("   (%d) RSA (encrypt only)\n"), 6 );
    }
  if (opt.expert)
    {
      tty_printf (_("   (%d) DSA (set your own capabilities)\n"), 7 );
      tty_printf (_("   (%d) RSA (set your own capabilities)\n"), 8 );
    }

  for (;;)
    {
      *r_usage = 0;
      *r_subkey_algo = 0;
      answer = cpr_get ("keygen.algo", _("Your selection? "));
      cpr_kill_prompt ();
      algo = *answer? atoi(answer): 1;
      xfree (answer);
      if ( algo == 1 && !addmode )
        {
          algo = PUBKEY_ALGO_RSA;
          *r_subkey_algo = PUBKEY_ALGO_RSA;    /* NOTE HERE */
          break;
        }
      else if (algo == 2 && !addmode)
        {
          algo = PUBKEY_ALGO_DSA;
          *r_subkey_algo = PUBKEY_ALGO_ELGAMAL_E;
          break;
        }
      else if (algo == 3)
        {
          algo = PUBKEY_ALGO_DSA;
          *r_usage = PUBKEY_USAGE_SIG;
          break;
        }
      else if (algo == 4)
        {
          algo = PUBKEY_ALGO_RSA;
          *r_usage = PUBKEY_USAGE_SIG;
          break;
        }
      else if (algo == 5 && addmode)
        {
          algo = PUBKEY_ALGO_ELGAMAL_E;
          *r_usage = PUBKEY_USAGE_ENC;
          break;
        }
      else if (algo == 6 && addmode)
        {
          algo = PUBKEY_ALGO_RSA;
          *r_usage = PUBKEY_USAGE_ENC;
          break;
        }
      else if (algo == 7 && opt.expert)
        {
          algo = PUBKEY_ALGO_DSA;
          *r_usage = ask_key_flags (algo, addmode);
          break;
        }
      else if (algo == 8 && opt.expert)
...

This is an RSA encryption key and an RSA signing key.

  "RSA and RSA" should actually be "RSA and DSA"
