I have about the same supported algos if I use the --version option. This got 
me thinking and I found a sollution in the man for gpg. I have to use the 
--pgp2 compatibility option. Then it works:

# gpg --pgp2 --import keymark.asc
gpg: key B60C20C5: public key "waldo kitty <wkitty42@alltel.net>" imported
gpg: Total number processed: 1
gpg:               imported: 1  (RSA: 1)
gpg: public key FBBB8AB1 is 58138 seconds newer than the signature
gpg: 3 marginal(s) needed, 1 complete(s) needed, PGP trust model
gpg: depth: 0  valid:   5  signed:   5  trust: 0-, 0q, 0n, 0m, 0f, 5u
gpg: depth: 1  valid:   5  signed:   0  trust: 2-, 0q, 0n, 1m, 2f, 0u

You don't have to revoke it if you still use it. But you are warned now, that 
if you use it to send messages to other people, they might encounter some 
problems... ;)

Bye, Wilfred.
