[Bug 372608] Re: import failure: Invalid file format

[Lars Mai]

Thank you for the hint, but this is unrelated I believe - both my keys
are identified as "application/octet-stream" by xdg-mime.

But I just discovered that it seems to be related to DSA keys in
seahorse in general. I was not able to generate a DSA key with ssh-
keygen or puttygen which would be accepted by seahorse.  I can generate
a DSA key in seahorse, which then gets listed properly. However, if I
remove that key and try to re-import a copy of it, I get the "Invalid
file format" error message from seahorse.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Generate a SSH-key in seahorse (encryption type: dsa)
2. Enter passphrase; key is now listed under "My Personal Keys"
3. Backup the just generated key: cp ~/.ssh/id_dsa* /some/where
4. Delete the key in seahorse
5. Import the backuped key: File > Import 
=>  Error Message: "Invalid file format"

Seahorse version is 2.26.1, running on Ubuntu Jaunty.
