import key failure, apparent bug

[Werner Koch]

Hi!

A closer inspection shows that the key is missing the 2 checksum bytes.
According to the specs (RFC-4880 or LibrePGP):

   *  If the string-to-key usage octet is zero or 255, then a two-octet
      checksum of the plaintext of the algorithm-specific portion (sum
      of all octets, mod 65536).

A string-to-key usage octet of zero means unencrypted key material.


Shalom-Salam,

   Werner
