All, After my first zypper dup, there are some strange side-effects I'm trying to chase down. One appeared when trying to reply to Carlos on this list. Tbird reported it could not find my secret key to sign the reply? Huh? Sure enough, checking my list of keys after zypper dup clearing shows my most recently added gpg key was gone. I have 6 keys, but after zypper dup only 5 remain. The missing key was the one that is automatically chosen to sign mails to this list when the senders message is signed (I've signed hundreds of messages to the list with it). But after update, only the following remained: gpg2 --list-secret-keys /home/david/.gnupg/pubring.gpg ------------------------------ sec dsa1024 2007-08-17 [SC] <snip> sec dsa1024 2007-03-22 [SCA] <snip> sec dsa1024 2007-10-15 [SC] <snip> sec dsa2048 2011-11-12 [SC] <snip> sec rsa2048 2017-02-24 [SC] <snip> The last key added in 42.3... sec rsa2048 2017-05-22 [SC] was simply gone. To restore the key, I had to re-import the key from a backup (thank God I saved one): gpg --import ~/cnf/gnupg/gpgseckeys <snip> gpg: key xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx: secret key imported gpg: Total number processed: 6 gpg: unchanged: 6 gpg: secret keys read: 6 gpg: secret keys imported: 1 gpg: secret keys unchanged: 5 What in the zypper dup process from 42.3 to 15.0 could cause the last key add in 42.3 to be lost? -- David C.
