  GPG works on command line but finds secret key without public key. The key (F488B1C1) is NOT visible in key access

  Also note: GPGMail fails to decrypt. BUT decrypt service works normally

  SV-38-86:~ rwalker$ echo test>testfile
  SV-38-86:~ rwalker$ gpg -s testfile
  gpg: error checking usability status of F488B1C1
  gpg: key F488B1C1: secret key without public key - skipped

  You need a passphrase to unlock the secret key for

  @Mento: What about "fixing" secret keys without public keys within GKA? @Jeffrey: just for later. GPGServices should show a warning.

  There are problems with revocation, and maybe other key properties, only being knowable from the public key, so a private key without a meaningful public key should probably always be treated as revoked, which I presume means : decrypt with a warning but refuse to sign.

  @Jeff: might be a good approach.

  @All: another user had the same issue: #97

  Shouldn't this be closed as a duplicate?

  Just fyi, there was a problem that KeyChooserWindowController's KeyChooserDataSource was declared as an IBOutlet*, meaning it reined null until runModal, preventing us from setting it's keyValidator. I simply created a windowDidLoad to set keyValidator, but currently this prevents GPGServices from ever changing the validator, which it never did anyways.

  • State changed from “open” to “duplicate”
  • Importance changed from “” to “”

  If I understand, gpg itself won't use a private key without a public key being present, so we should not attempt to implement my proposed fix. I support a more informative error message might help, but basically this seems does look like it can progress outside improving error reporting, i.e. #97.
