Package: gnupg Version: 1.4.2-2 Severity: important I'm currently doing an import of the debian-keyring: $ dpkg-query -l debian-keyring | grep keyring ii debian-keyring 2005.05.28 GnuPG (and obsolete PGP) keys of Debian Developers $ ls -la /usr/share/keyrings/debian-keyring.gpg -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 13644930 2005-05-29 11:54 /usr/share/keyrings/debian-keyring.gpg $ gpg --import /usr/share/keyrings/debian-keyring.gpg
and that takes a very long time and very much memory .... gpg said that it imports 903 key (summary message), and since then just "hangs" without giving further messages.
