Hi,
I have a RSA key which is made with pgp-6.5.8, because gnupg-1.2.1
generates singing only RSA keys. So I imported that key into my gpg
here, added a uid and now I can't change the primary uid. The second uid
I added was automatically set as primary uid. I tried to change the
primary uid as described with=20

As you can see the primary uid is not changed to uid 1 as I 'commanded'.
I tried that with a DSA key and it worked as it should, but not with
this RSA key. I couldn't find anything on that topic so far so it might
be a bug. - Maybe you can help me out here. Many thanks in advance!
Bye
Clemens
