Importing pgp5 key / trustdb
Hi,
I exported my pgp5 public key and imported it on the gpg keyring:

---------------------------------------
markus@poro:/opt/home/markus > pgpk -x Markus -o file
Received signal 11.
markus@poro:/opt/home/markus > gpg --import file
gpg (GnuPG) 0.4.2 ...

gpg:file: key F82D38E0: public key imported
markus@poro:/opt/home/markus >
---------------------------------------

I signed the fresh imported key:

---------------------------------------
markus@poro:/opt/home/markus > gpg --edit-key 0xF82D38E0
gpg (GnuPG) 0.4.2 ...

Are you really sure that you want to sign this key
with your key: "Markus Gruber (DSA/ELG) <markus.gruber@ilo.baynet.de>"

Really sign? y

You need a passphrase to unlock the secret key for
user: "Markus Gruber (DSA/ELG) <markus.gruber@ilo.baynet.de>"
(1024-bit DSA key, ID DE5E7FB2, created 1998-08-18)

I used it to sign/encrypt something.
All worked (specifiing the primary key-id, too, nice), but the key is not
trusted:

---------------------------------------
markus@poro:/opt/home/markus > echo "Heino" | gpg -eas -r 0xF82D38E0 -o file
gpg (GnuPG) 0.4.2 ...

You need a passphrase to unlock the secret key for
user: "Markus Gruber (DSA/ELG) <markus.gruber@ilo.baynet.de>"
(1024-bit DSA key, ID DE5E7FB2, created 1998-08-18)

gpg: using secondary key CC7B21D5 instead of primary key F82D38E0
Could not find a valid trust path to the key. Let's see whether we
can assign some missing owner trust values.

No owner trust values changed.

It is NOT certain that the key belongs to its owner.
If you *really* know what you are doing, you may answer
the next question with yes

Use this key anyway? y
File 'file' exists. Overwrite (y/N)? y

I tried
gpgm --update-trustdb
gpgm --check-trustdb
but no luck.

Unless I´m mistaken, the key should be trusted when I sign it.
How can I get it work. Have I forgotten something?

:-) Thanks

Markus
