[Bug 337333] [NEW] Importing secret key not working

[selzeda]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: seahorse

In Ubuntu 8.10 ("Intrepid"), seahorse 2.24.1 does not import secret
keys.

To reproduce the problem, get an ascii armored secret key, for example
via the command "gpg --export-secret-key -a <your-name-or-email>
--output privkey.asc", and try to import this file into seahorse, either
via "seahorse-tool -i privkey.asc" or by starting seahorse, clicking
"Keys", "Import..." (or pressing Ctrl+I) and choosing privkey.asc.

Seahorse shows no error message and imports nothing, if you start
seahorse from the command line you can see the following error:

** (seahorse:5615): WARNING **: imported key but then couldn't find it
in keyring

This seems to a major bug because there seems to be no other way to
import an existing private keyfile and thus encrypting files via the
nautilus context menu is not possible with an existing key.

Best regards, David
