Re: compiling kernel

When Hamish Moffatt wrote, I replied:

I've encountered a puzzling problem during kernel compilation that I
hope
some one can elucidate for me.  My make-kpkg buildpackage run ends with:

 signfile kernel-source-2.2.1_1.0.dsc
Pretty Good Privacy(tm) 2.6.3a - Public-key encryption for the masses.

Could not read key from file '/root/.pgp/secring.pgp'.
Signature error

For a usage summary, type:  pgp -h
For more detailed help, consult the PGP User's Guide.
make: *** [stamp-buildpackage] Error 20

but when I check, using:

# ls -l /root/.pgp/secring.pgp
-rw-r--r--   1 root     root          588 Apr 16 21:53
/root/.pgp/secring.pgp

so I don't understand why I get "Could not read key from file
'/root/.pgp/secring.pgp'.".  Can anyone provide a clue??  TIA
