how to convert --pgp output to a regular public key? about scallion HOT 7 CLOSED

The "PrivateKey" value should be a valid import format for gpg. You need to pass a magic flag to make GPG happy that we didn't include a self-signed signature for the primary uid gpg --import --allow-non-selfsigned-uid.

Then just paste the PrivateKey value into that. Then you can do gpg --edit-key FINGERPRINT. Follow the prompts to delete the placeholder UID, create your own UID, and save.

Then gpg --export FINGERPRINT > FINGERPRINT.pub will give you the public key.

I tried 1.4.18 and 2.0.26

Vurt:~ job$ gpg --import --allow-non-selfsigned-uids < privkey.txt
gpg: Invalid option "--allow-non-selfsigned-uids"

Vurt:~ job$ gpg2 --import --allow-non-selfsigned-uids < privkey.txt
gpg: invalid option "--allow-non-selfsigned-uids"

Ah, my bad - it's gpg --import --allow-non-selfsigned-uid. It works for me on 2.0.26.

did you find a solution?

from scallion.

Then you can do gpg --edit-key FINGERPRINT. Follow the prompts to delete the placeholder UID, create your own UID, and save.

To do this, type

uid 1 # Select only uid
deluid # Delete it
adduid # Add your own, follow prompts
trust
5 # Give ultimate trust to yourself
save # Save the key

Ignoring # and everything after
