-If you have a revoked authentication subkey in your keyring,
-monkeysphere gen-subkey thinks that I have an authentication subkey
-already, which I do, but it probably shouldn't care about it, since it
-is revoked:
-
-        21:30@pond> monkeysphere gen-subkey F67E2A5D1CF2D62A
-        An authentication subkey already exists for key 'F67E2A5D1CF2D62A'.
-        Are you sure you would like to generate another one? (y/N) 
-
-However: this key was revoked on 2008-04-28 by DSA key 1CF2D62A Micah Anderson <micah@riseup.net>
-        sub  1024R/866F47D3  created: 2008-02-25  revoked: 2008-04-28  usage: A   
-
-I can continue to create a new authorization subkey, so its not a
-blocker or anything (I suppose I could also delete the revoked key
-from my keyring as well, although thats less than ideal).
-
-It seems like the secret keyring doesn't mention that it has been
-revoked, so probably monkeysphere needs to be looking at gpg's
-computed validity from the public keyring instead of the secret
-keyring to be able to get the "r" flag from field 2, in addition to
-the "e" flag from field 12.
-

-
-So the problem is that there is no field 2 for secret keys.  From
-/usr/share/doc/gnupg/DETAILS.gz:
-
-      2. Field:  A letter describing the calculated trust. This is a single
-                letter, but be prepared that additional information may follow
-                in some future versions. (not used for secret keys)
-
-Why would secret keys not have this field?  They have validity too,
-right?  This doesn't make any sense.  I verify that indeed there is no
-output in field 2 for secret keys.  I would say this is a bug in gpg,
-but it's clearly done on purpose.  Any ideas?
