Mailing List Archive: Cannot import sec/pubkeys!

Hi all,

After trying everything, I cannot import my secring.pgp or pubring.pgp
files into GnuPG. I have pgp 2.6.2 on my Dos box - from where the keys are
coming, and version 2.6.3 under RedHat 6.0 (which sees my keys just fine),
as does kcmPGP under the KDE desktop. So, until I try to import them, both
keys seem ok. I have both the RSA and IDEA modules loaded.
Upon typing 'gpg --import .pgp/pubring.pgp' the error message I get is:

gpg: /usr/lib/gnupg/rndlinux: error loading extension:
usr/lib/gnupg/rndlinux: cannot open shared object file: no such file or
directory
gpg: key #########: secret key imported
etc/...
gpg: mpi too large (61922)
gpg : Segmentation fault caught...exiting

I've been picking the brains of a friend who is familiar with GnuPG
and he can't help me, apart from saying that he has 'rndunix' instead. The
GnuPG I installed was an rpm, version 1.0.0.
Cheers,

It looks like you've misconfigured your install. There are detailed
instructions on how to extend GnuPG to support RSA keys in the document
"Replacing PGP 2.x with GnuPG" at http://www.gnupg.org/gph/index.html.
Have you taken a look?
