GPG Keychain: Cannot export my private key
Hi!
I am using GPG Keychain 1.4.6 on macOS Mojave (10.14.4). This is part of the GPG Suite 2018.5 (2368).
I wanted to back up my key using the export function. If I choose to include the private key as well I get an error message after about 30 secs (see screenshot attached). However, exporting the public key only works fine.
Your help will be much appreciated!
Andreas

Hi Andreas,
welcome to the GPGTools support platform. Sorry you are having problems using GPG Suite.
Could you restart your mac and let me know if then the problem persists for you?
Best,
Steve
