   I have about the same supported algos if I use the --version option. This got   
   me thinking and I found a sollution in the man for gpg. I have to use the   
   --pgp2 compatibility option. Then it works:   
      
   # gpg --pgp2 --import keymark.asc   
   gpg: key B60C20C5: public key "waldo kitty " imported   
   gpg: Total number processed: 1   
   gpg:               imported: 1  (RSA: 1)   
   gpg: public key FBBB8AB1 is 58138 seconds newer than the signature   
   gpg: 3 marginal(s) needed, 1 complete(s) needed, PGP trust model   
   gpg: depth: 0  valid:   5  signed:   5  trust: 0-, 0q, 0n, 0m, 0f, 5u   
   gpg: depth: 1  valid:   5  signed:   0  trust: 2-, 0q, 0n, 1m, 2f, 0u

   You don't have to revoke it if you still use it. But you are warned now, that   
   if you use it to send messages to other people, they might encounter some   
   problems... ;)   
      
   Bye, Wilfred.
