Key Import Error

I’m trying to import a pgp key and getting an error I know nothing about.

gpg --import D:\keyfile.key.pgp

gpg: mpi too large for this implementation (40843 bits)
gpg: mpi too large for this implementation (43184 bits)
gpg: read_block: read error: invalid packet
gpg: import from `D:\keyfile.key.pgp’ failed: invalid keyring
gpg: Total number processed: 0

Does anyone have any idea what this means??? I have another key in a .txt file and it imports perfectly fine. I’m a total nube and any help will be greatly appreciated.

TIA,
Ferg

Hi ken,

  1. Try to export the PGP along with the secret key, try imoprting this key into GPG usilng CLI.

  2. You must be having the Secure key and public key under PGP directory. try importing them seperately using GPG CLI.

  3. If you see them imported, set the validity and trust level and then check with GPG encryption.

Hope this helps

An import over the User Interface of the Keymanagers GPA or WinPT doesn’t work?
