Another wild guess: maybe it's because the ownertrust values of your own public key have not been imported together with the key. You have to reassign trust. Try gpg2 --edit-key [yourkeyID] gpg> trust 5 Another way (I forgot to mention this in my previous mail) is to import your key with gpg2 --import-keep-ownertrust [yourkeyID] Then the ownertrust value is being imported as well. Does it change anything with respect to your verification problems?
