Dear all,

yesterday I desperately tried to create keys on a newly set up system. The process always stopped somewhere in the middle without telling me why (no error message). I created the keys in my old system and tried to import the keys. This time I got an useful error message. Problem and solution as described in following link. This solved of course the first problem as well. As I couldn't find this anywhere else, I wanted you to know, too.

In short and and in english: make sure, the folder /home/username/.gnupg/ has user rights and not root rights.
