Hello, How do I import a subkey into an existing secret key?
I use a DSA key with El-Gamal encryption keys that I regenerate every year. At some point my keyrings got out of sync and I ended up carrying on with an older key. There was a secret subkey in the middle there that got lost and I only noticed when I came to decrypt a file with it. I managed to find (after a lot of effort) a copy of the missing secret subkey and temporarily replaced my secring.pgp file to decrypt the encrypted document. Crisis averted. I would now like to merge that secret subkey into my main keyring, in case I ever need it again. I have (while I had my secring substituted) done a: gpg --export-secret-subkeys -a [subkey] > sec_subkey.asc and gone back to my main secring. Unfortunately, a gpg --import sec_subkey.asc doesn't import this subkey into my main keyring. How can I do this?
