So gpg asks the agent for your secret primary key (69F91A22) but the agent cannot provide it. Then it asks for the secret subkey and gets it.
Next questions:* What exact version of GnuPG are you using? It looks like you are using a version from the 2.1 branch, not 2.0. Please give the output of `gpg2 --version`.
* Can you *use* your secret primary key? Try performing any action requiring the secret primary key (such as signing a message, assuming you do not have a signing subkey).
* If you can reproduce the issue at will, can you try exporting the private keys again, but with logging of debug informations?
Add the following lines to your ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf file (create that file if it does not already exist):
log-file /wherever/you/want.log debug 1024 Reload the agent (gpgconf --reload gpg-agent) and try exporting again.
Any ideas?
It's starting to look like a communication problem between gpg and the agent. What problem exactly, I have no clue.
