Package: hopenpgp-tools
Version: 0.23.7-1
When i send an OpenPGP secret key to "hokey lint", i see this warning:
hokey: Codec/Encryption/OpenPGP/Serialize.hs:(986,1)-(1015,77): Non-exhaustive patterns in function getSecretKey
I think what it's trying to say is "hokey lint only works on OpenPGP
certificates, not secret keys". But this is a pretty awkward way to say
it.
Alternately, "hokey lint" could just convert the secret key to a public
key and do the linting anyway.
Thanks for maintaining hopenpgp-tools!

That is not what it is saying. If you have the hOpenPGP source code handy,

you should receive reasonable output from something like
hokey lint <tests/data/nist_p-256_secretkey.gpg
What is the nature of the input you're providing?

Looks like parsing of Ed25519 secret keys hasn't been implemented
in hOpenPGP yet and that is the cause of the failure.
