The GNU Privacy Handbook - possible error in the key integraty section example

[Herbert Straub]

Hallo,

the German translation of this handbook does'nt contain equal parts in the
section: 3. Key Management / Key-Integrity. Werner Koch answer in the gnupg-users list, that the german examples are using own keys. Therefore the explanation text of the example contains the wrong key id in the german translation. I suggest an update of the key id. Details:

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

Command> check

sig! 26B6AAE1 1999-06-15 [self-signature]
uid Chloe (Plebian) <***@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 Schl?ssel ist vorhanden.

uid Chloe (Freie Autorin) <***@tel.net>
sig! 1B087D04 2000-06-07 [Eigenbeglaubigung]

Wie erwartet, wird f?r jede Unterschrift der prim?re Schl?ssel mit der
Schl?ssel-ID 0x26B6AAE1 genommen.

Look at the Key 0x26B6AAE1. The german version does'nt have it. I think, it should be 0x1B087D04.

2. The header specify the <gnupg-***@gnupg.org> mailinglist, but Werner said, that this list was closed, due to inactivity. I suggest to update this to <gnupg-***@gnupg.org>

Below a patch file (diff to the current cvs version of the gph)

Thanks
Herbert Straub
