[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] rpm --import <key> "fails with key 1 import failed" (Discussion #2186)

[Shreenidhi Shedi]

We discussed about this a bit at https://github.com/rpm-software-management/rpm/pull/1795#issuecomment-1246330529 on-wards.
Creating this new thread based on @pmatilai's suggestion.

Issue details:

I followed https://access.redhat.com/articles/3359321 to generate keys. But after this fix, I'm unable to import the keys.

root [ ~ ]# rpm --import foo.key 
error: foo.key: key 1 import failed.

root [ ~ ]# rpm -qi rpm
Name        : rpm
Version     : 4.16.1.3
Release     : 12.ph4
Architecture: x86_64
Install Date: Tue Sep 13 16:57:51 2022

Can you please assist me on generating the keys properly?

Here are my patches where I back ported this CVE fix to 4.16.x
