of DSS/DH keys) mistakenly thought was my secret key. Too many malt

they are the same for both DSS, RSA, Ellamal keys:

c:\>gpg --list-keys disastry
pub  1024D/2E250C64 1997-09-30 Disastry <disastry saiknes.lv> sub
3072g/991C445E 2000-01-27 [expires: 2005-01-28]

pub  2040R/ED97BF3F 2001-01-25 Disastry <disastry iname.com>

c:\>gpg --list-secret-keys disastry
sec  1024D/2E250C64 1997-09-30 Disastry <disastry saiknes.lv> ssb
3072g/991C445E 2000-01-27

sec  2040R/ED97BF3F 2001-01-25 Disastry <disastry iname.com>


and I'm sure they are the same even for your keys ;-)
