Hallo,

the German translation of this handbook does'nt contain equal parts in th=
e
section: 3. Key Management / Key-Integrity. Werner Koch answer in the gnu=
pg-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.

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=FCssel ist vorhanden.

Wie erwartet, wird f=FCr jede Unterschrift der prim=E4re Schl=FCssel mit =
der
Schl=FCssel-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  <[email protected]> mailinglist, but Wern=
er said, that this list was closed, due to inactivity. I suggest to updat=
e this to <[email protected]>

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

Thanks
