[Bug 595055] [NEW] [lucid][lucid-proposed] kgpg generates invalid openpgp key - signing only key

[Rafal-maj-it]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kgpg

kgpg - generate keypair, creates a key that works only for signing, not
for encryption.

ii  kgpg
4:4.4.4-0ubuntu1~lucid1~ppa1

The createk key looks like this:

gpg  --edit-key    9C2526CCDE53F875
pub  2048D/DE53F875  created: 2010-06-16  expires: 2012-06-15  usage: SCA 
                     trust: ultimate      validity: ultimate
[ultimate] (1). XXX XXX <XXX at XXX.XXX>

and it is not possible to use it to encrypt to it, the key seems to miss
a sub-key.


So instead user needs to for example generate  the key from CLI, like on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GnuPrivacyGuardHowto
and then key seems to have the sub-key as needed:

pub  2048R/F108C3FB  created: 2010-06-16  expires: 2012-06-15  usage: SC  
                     trust: unknown       validity: unknown
sub  2048R/7A152921  created: 2010-06-16  expires: 2012-06-15  usage: E   
[ unknown] (1). XXXX <XXX at XXX>
