Hi list, when I try to generate a key in batch mode, I get an error whenever Key-Type and Subkey-Type is "default". I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong or if this is a bug.
There is no problem when I replace the value "default" with a proper algorithm name (such as RSA). This is the command I'm using: $ gpg --homedir="batchtest" --batch --gen-key <<EOF Key-Type: default Subkey-Type: default Name-Real: Joe Tester Name-Comment: with stupid passphrase Name-Email: j...@foo.bar Expire-Date: 0 Passphrase: abc %commit EOF This is the output I'm getting: gpg: -:1: invalid algorithm The problem occurs on my Debian 7.1 and Ubuntu 13.04 machines, both running gpg (GnuPG) 1.4.12 According to this manual on gnupg.org, 'default' should work as a Key-Type: http://www.gnupg.org/documentation/manuals/gnupg-devel/Unattended-GPG-key-generation.html > "algo may either be an OpenPGP algorithm number or a string with > the algorithm name. The special value ‘default’ may be used for > algo to create the default key type; in this case a ‘Key-Usage’ > shall not be given and ‘default’ also be used for ‘Subkey-Type’." Am I the culprit here, or is there a bug to squash? :) -- Mikael "MMN-o" Nordfeldth XMPP/mail: m...@hethane.se http://blog.mmn-o.se/
