Hi Charly, the key import works with this option. gpg identifies this as "old style (PGP 2.x) signature" and warns, that this key is not certified with a trusted signature. Anyway, I could sucessfully extract a file which was signed with this public key and that's what I need.
So many thanks for your help ! David. I believe this issue has been commented upon in this forum, a couple of years ago maybe; it was about "public key algorithms 100 to 110" being 'reserved for private or experimental use'. I have tried to download key EEE64249 from 4 different keyservers, nothing found. As for "missing self signature", try to import the key while adding the option --allow-non-selfsigned-uid. But I don't believe this will solve the issue of algorithm 100. I hope you get a better response from a more savvy user.
