When I try to export keys to the HDD. I get an error - after updating to Newest sierra patch - 10.12.4 (16E195) MacOS:
Key export failed.
Export failed!
Code = 0

Error text:
gpg: [don't know]: indeterminate length for invalid packet type 13
gpg: key export failed: Invalid packet

Expected
For it to work - export to file like always. What happened or caused this error I do not know or how to fix it.

   Hi Timothy,

   welcome to the GPGTools support platform. Sorry you are having problems using GPG Suite.

   How are you exporting the keys? Are you seeing the error with all keys you are trying to export or only some or one specific key?

   All the best,
   steve

   How I fixed it was to back-up the old folder, re-install the 2017.b3 (MAC)
   then I opened the file-
   pubring.gpg - as GPG keyring. Then I was able to Export the keys again.
   Not sure what caused this issue, but this is how I fixed it.
