I hate to say, in the voice normally used for backups "you did
make a revocation key at the time you created the private key
didn't you". It's in the key creation FAQ. Create a revocation
key now and keep it safe. Mine's printed on a piece of paper in
my filing cabinet, I'd hate to have to type it in by hand but I
could if I had too.
Perhaps this should be a reminder/warning to all those people
creating new keys. Create and look after a revocation key for
the time in the future when you loose or compromise your private
key.
