The GNU Privacy Handbook

Hallo,

the German translation of this handbook does'nt contain equal parts in the
section: 3. Key Management / Key-Integrity:

The example in the english version:

chloe% gpg --edit-key chloe
Secret key is available.

pub  1024D/26B6AAE1  created: 1999-06-15 expires: never      trust: -/u
sub  2048g/0CF8CB7A  created: 1999-06-15 expires: never
sub  1792G/08224617  created: 1999-06-15 expires: 2002-06-14
sub   960D/B1F423E7  created: 1999-06-15 expires: 2002-06-14
(1)  Chloe (Jester) <chloe at cyb.org>
(2)  Chloe (Plebian) <chloe at tel.net>

Command> check
uid  Chloe (Jester) <chloe at cyb.org>
sig!           26B6AAE1 1999-06-15         [self-signature]
uid  Chloe (Plebian) <chloe at tel.net>
sig!           26B6AAE1 1999-06-15         [self-signature]

As expected, the signing key for each signature is the master signing key with
key ID 0x26B6AAE1.


And now the same section in the german version:

chloe$  gpg --edit-key chloe
geheimer Schlüssel ist vorhanden.

(1)  Chloe (Journalistin) <chloe at cyb.org>
(2)  Chloe (Freie Autorin) <chloe at tel.net>

Befehl> check
uid  Chloe (Journalistin) <chloe at cyb.org>
sig!       1B087D04 2000-06-07   [Eigenbeglaubigung]
uid  Chloe (Freie Autorin) <chloe at tel.net>
sig!       1B087D04 2000-06-07   [Eigenbeglaubigung]

Wie erwartet, wird für jede Unterschrift der primäre Schlüssel mit der
Schlüssel-ID 0x26B6AAE1 genommen.

Look at the Key 0x26B6AAE1. The german version does'nt have it. I think, this
is
a error.

I tried to send a mail to: <gnupg-doc.de at gnupg.org> (specified in the header of
the german book vesion), but this address does'nt exist.

Thanks
Herbert Straub
