I have been having similar problems with gpg 1.4.5 on debian etch. With
me:
- When trying to generate keys for the card the problem (to me) seemed
that I was using a 2048 bit key for encryption. I therefore deleted
that sub-key and tried again. This worked in that my card got
populated but now I cannot decrypt old emails
- In restoring my secring, I still cannot decrypt old email, and
cannot generate new sub-keys for the card. When I do I get similar
message to the above
I am trying to find a way to remove all my existing key data from the
card so I can start again
