Package: gnupg
Version: 1.4.11-3
Severity: important

Dear Debian folks,


today I noticed that Evolution does not sign or decrypt my messages
anymore.

Trying it manually with `gpg` I got the same error.

        $ LANG=C gpg --decrypt /tmp/test.mbox
        gpg: key 5DD5BC10: secret key without public key - skipped
        gpg: encrypted with RSA key, ID 52B5DBC4
        gpg: encrypted with RSA key, ID D279328D
        gpg: decryption failed: secret key not available

I have not uploaded the key to a key server. But is also happens with my
key which is uploaded to a key server and why this message is not
signed.

It stopped working today after I believe the system froze and I am not
aware that any related packages were upgraded. Can the keyring be
corrupted when the system freezes and is (cold) resetted?

How can I check the integrity of my keyring?


Thanks,

Paul
