gpg couldn't import pgp keys
Greetings: God bless you.
I tried to import the debian-keyring.pgp, and gpg
complained about each key, for example:
gpg: key C4A8525B: unsupported public key algorithm
gpg: key C4A8525B: unsupported public key algorithm
gpg: key C4A8525B: unsupported public key algorithm
gpg: this may be caused by a missing self-signature
gpg: Total number processed: 507
gpg: w/o user IDs:507
Here my gpg --version:
gpg (GnuPG) 1.0.1

Home: ~/.gnupg
Supported algorithms:
Cipher: 3DES, CAST5, BLOWFISH, TWOFISH
Pubkey: ELG-E, DSA, ELG
Hash: MD5, SHA1, RIPEMD160
Is the problem that the pgp keys use the RSA or IDEA
algorithms? Or that they aren't self-signed? Or am
I not using a critical switch?
I'm due to have my public keys (one for at work:
Bolan.Meek@wcom.com, and for at home: bolan@koyote.com)
signed by someone who is using pgp, and whose name
I find in 'strings /usr/share/keyrings/debian-keyring.pgp',
but it looks like the keys for him therein include
an old employment, in addition to his debian.org
account.
