OK... I'm apparently suffering from a bad gpgsm setup. According to
the 2011 post
(https://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-devel/2011-March/025989.html)
the following command, should just work:
gpgsm --gen-key | gpgsm --import
Not for me... I get
gpgsm: problem looking for existing certificate: Invalid argument
gpgsm: error storing certificate
Moreover just trying to dump my keystore with "gpgsm -k" gives errors
gpgsm: keydb_search failed: Invalid argument
Here's a dump of my failed import attempt.
