Hi,
I tried to import a pgp5.0 key with gpg 0.9.1 but it failed.
I imported it in pgp5.0i, exported and the re-imported in gpg. This time it
worked.
The difference was in what it seems are some escaped = in the last lines of
the key:

these are the last lines of the original key, which gpg couldn't import

  lb8i6okAPwMFGDQFtubv+KfRwps1YhECloAAn1fEIQn2VUOoNA4zhGsh/7GMmGoV
  AJ9tWyz5fDpcwQ08OHj1xOWMmHyA/g=3D=3D
  =3D53Sc
  -----END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----

while the re-exported key was:

  lb8i6okAPwMFGDQFtubv+KfRwps1YhECloAAn1fEIQn2VUOoNA4zhGsh/7GMmGoV
  AJ9tWyz5fDpcwQ08OHj1xOWMmHyA/g==
  =53Sc
  -----END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----

as you see the only difference is that the last 3 "===" were replaced by
"=3D=3D=3D" in the original key.
Is it a bug in gpg or in the pgp version used to export the original key? (the
comment says: PGP for Personal Privacy 5.0)
