Problems importing a public key
I'm getting code = 0. I saw a few people with the same symptoms but I was
unable to fix it using the solutions that worked for them.
The file was originally .asc extension I've tried all methods with the
extension .asc & .pgp
I've tried the following.
1) Gui -> import button
2) Command line
Eric-4:/ Eric$ gpg --import ~/Desktop/kolla.asc
gpg: /Users/Eric/.gnupg/gpg.conf:233: invalid auto-key-locate list
If I comment out line 233.
Eric-4:/ Eric$ gpg --import ~/Desktop/kolla.asc
gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found.
gpg: Total number processed: 0
3) Option-click->service->Import key from file.
Nothing seems to work. All say error code =0 failure to import.
I've attached the key.
Thanks.

Hey Eric,
sorry to hear you are having issues importing the key. Could you please visit https://nightly.gpgtools.org/ and download the nightly GPGTools_installer and run that on your system. Just recently we´ve written a few patches for GPG Keychain Access.
Thanks for attaching the key in question. I was able to import that key via copy and paste when using the latest nightly of GPG Keychain Access.
Let us know your findings.
All the best,
steve

Steve,
I was able to import without updating.
Looked like it was a problem with file corruption in the mail program I use.
I had someone send me the key without using ms outlook and it worked fine.
Hopefully this post will help others with the same problem.
Solution: zip the key before sending it as an attachment.
Thanks Steve.

Hehe, MS Outlook. Always good for some trouble. ;)
Glad you were able to solve this now.
Closing. Have a nice day!
