What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Choice the key cipher ECDSA and ECDH, and it's size (521), validation (0)
2. Input the name, e-mail, comments ... etc...
3. Input the password 2 times and there's is it!
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The expected output is the key or a message inform that the generation occurred
successfully. But I see this:
"We need to generate a lot of random bytes. It is a good idea to perform
some other action (type on the keyboard, move the mouse, utilize the
disks) during the prime generation; this gives the random number
generator a better chance to gain enough entropy.
gpg: incompatible version of gcrypt library (expect named curve logic for ECC)
Key generation failed: Unknown system error"
What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
I'm using the gnupg2-ecc version 2.1.0, from 2009, Sabayon 13.06 (Gentoo Base
system 2.2) and libgcrypt 1.5.2-r2
Please provide any additional information below.
