Hello!

I believe I have encountered a bug. I have created a new set of keys (not-default setup: main key to certify, subkeys to sign and decrypt, added another key to decrypt) and I have also added another key as a revoker. All was well, until - just for test - I tried to generate and import the revocation certificate from the designated revoker. Generation was fine, but on import gnupg was complaining about bad signature of the revoker key, and refused to actually revoke the key.

The newly generated key could revoke itself. The problem was only about the desginated revoker. Therefore I generated a bunch of test-keys, with default settings. The results were the same. Designated revoker *can* generate the revocation certifiacte, but gnupg fails to import the revoked key compaining about bad signature.

Can I get any assistance with it?
