I believe I tracked it down. The problem is, I believe the key is
permanently an IDEA key, created with pgp2 (in 1997). gpg refuses to
sign anything with it, since I don't have the gpg idea module installed,
which would have to be done by hand since it's not part of the official
distribution. I assume this also means gpg can't check pgp2-signed mail
messages (as indeed, when I copy all of my keys from pgp to gpg, gpg
says the signature is bad while pgp says it's good).
Does anyone know if it's possible to 'fix' this without creating a new
key? I've been avoiding creating a new key due to the recent keyring-
maint situation.
