Re: Internal error returned from within gnutls_certificate_set_openpgp_key()

[Joke de Buhr]

well, it seems this error has something to do with the flags of the 
authentication subkey.

if the subkey is marked for authentication and signing 
gnutls_certificate_set_openpgp_key() will report an internal error. if the 
subkey is not marked for signing the function reports success. the encryption 
flags doesn't seem to matter.
