I have four files and I want to recover the private key so I can import the private key back into the gpg keyring. Whsn I do a gpg --list-keys and key is in the keyring but I need to change the key to expire or revoke it. If I try to revoke or edit the key I get a Need the secret key to do this message.
I assume the .christopher_72969D3E.public-master-key.txt file is my public key and the .christopher_72969D3E.private-master-key.txt is the private key. The .christopher_72969D3E.private-master-key is a binary file.
I ran the following commands:
paperkey --pubring .christopher_72969D3E.public-master-key.txt --secrets .christopher_72969D3E.private-key-paper.txt --output christopher_72969D3E.private-key.gpg
Error: unable to parse OpenPGP packets (is this armored data?)
