unsuported key algorithm?

[Johan Lundberg]

Hi all!

I keep getting this kind of problems, hope someone can help me out:

gpg: requesting key <something> from finland.keyserver.net ...
gpg: key <something>: unsupported public key algorithm
gpg: key something>: no valid user IDs
gpg: this may be caused by a missing self-signature
gpg: Total number processed: 1
gpg:           w/o user IDs: 1

Then I tried with the --allow-non-selfsigned-uid (I know thats not great,
but I'm just testing this)

but then i get:

gpg: requesting key <something> from finland.keyserver.net ...
gpg: key <something>: unsupported public key algorithm
gpg: key : accepted non self-signed user ID '(some key )     
<some@dress.abc>'  
gpg: key <something>: public key imported
gpg: Total number processed: 1
gpg:               imported: 1  (RSA: 1)

and when I do
echo testing|gpg -er 8F0E6845

i get:
gpg: 8F0E6845: skipped: unknown pubkey algorithm
gpg: [stdin]: encryption failed: unknown pubkey algorithm

Is this an RSA key, and if it is, how do i use the --load-extension and
rsa-keys? Where can I get the extensions?

this is what i find in the handbook:

load-extension object-file
Description:
Elaborate.
